area over just a year ago, we have been seeking ways to become more
fully integrated into the existing healthcare delivery ecosystem,”
said RediClinic CEO Web Golinkin. “We are excited about our new
relationship with Aria Health because it will enable us to offer
our patients access to a larger network of providers and a broader
scope of services.”
“We are pleased to be working with RediClinic and Rite Aid, as
it will enable Aria to expand access to care in our community and
explore innovations in service delivery,” said Kathleen Kinslow,
CRNA, EdD, MBA, president and CEO of Aria Health.
