During FMS's operating hours, seven days a week, patients can undergo a simple blood draw to receive Cardio Diagnostics' epigenetic-genetic tests, if determined by the provider to be medically necessary.

The Evolution of Retail Clinics
Retail clinics are undergoing a transformative evolution, expanding their services beyond basic, non-emergency care to encompass comprehensive primary care, chronic disease management, and behavioral health services. This significant shift in healthcare delivery models is projected to capture up to a third of the market by 2030, according to a recent report by Bain & Company. The evolution of retail clinics is primarily driven by the increasing costs of traditional healthcare settings and the growing consumer demand for more accessible and convenient care options.
These retail healthcare clinics are now seen as minimal care providers and vital players in the primary healthcare landscape. Innovative providers like Family Medicine Specialists are at the forefront of partnering with retail organizations and satisfying increased demand for convenient and accessible care. “At Family Medicine Specialists, we have multiple retail healthcare collaborative relationships and are particularly excited about our unique and innovative initiative with Cardio Diagnostics, a leader in clinical cardiovascular diagnostic solutions,” said Jason Bellucci, MBA, President of Family Medicine Specialists. “This collaboration will enable us to bring advanced cardiac diagnostic tools directly into our retail healthcare clinic locations, enhancing our ability to provide more advanced patient care without additional infrastructure. We believe this collaboration will empower our clinicians with additional resources to serve our patients better.”
By integrating healthcare services, retailers are also diversifying their business models. This move allows them to reduce reliance on traditional retail sales, which are subject to the ebbs and flows of economic change. Detecting cardiovascular risk and its drivers in the retail healthcare setting is a strategic expansion into chronic disease management in a competitive market. Such organizations can diversify their patient base and enhance their service offerings, making them indispensable in a healthcare landscape that increasingly values prevention, management, and convenient care access. Retail clinics are set to play a crucial role in the future of healthcare. They offer a promising model for delivering high-quality, accessible, and cost-effective care to a wide range of populations across
