CARLISLE
The Giant Company announced flu and pneumonia vaccinations are now available at all in-store pharmacies.
With more than 130 locations across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, receiving a flu shot at Giant and Martin's pharmacies is easy and convenient. Walk-ins are welcome, but customers can also make an appointment if they prefer. Most insurance plans, including Medicare Part B, cover recommended flu vaccinations with little or no out-of-pocket cost.
Historically, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends annual influenza vaccinations for everyone six months and older, ideally by the end of October. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at increased risk of serious flu-related complications, including adults 65 and older, pregnant women and people with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart and lung disease. Customers should speak with their pharmacist or healthcare provider about vaccines that may be appropriate for them.
Podiatry services expanded
Central PA Physicians Group announced that the podiatry division of Advanced Regional Center for Orthopedics & Podiatry has joined Central PA Podiatry, a division of Central PA Physicians Group, expanding access to comprehensive foot and ankle care throughout central Pa.
As part of the merger, CPPG is welcoming doctors Bill Wiedemer, Naitali Miglani and Matthew Sabol, along with their patients and staff, to the Central PA Physicians Group family.
The expansion brings CPPG's network to seven locations and allows the practice to continue serving communities previously cared for by AOP's podiatry division. As part of the transition, CPPG's Patton office is moving to the former AOP location in Ebensburg, and CPPG is expanding into Huntingdon for the first time.
The transition is designed to provide continuity of care for existing AOP podiatry patients. Patient health records have been transferred to Central PA Podiatry, and patients do not need to take any action to continue their care.
