HARTFORD SCOOP: CVS on Blue Hills to add Oak Street Health

CVS at 479 Blue Hills Avenue in Hartford is planned to be downsized and developed into a Oak Street Health office.

Under this plan, the CVS store would be downsized to about 1/3 its size; it would feature a pharmacy and a store with a focus on healthcare items & limited convenience items.

The remaining 2/3 of the store would be redeveloped into Oak Street Health, a doctor's office chain owned by CVS. The center provides primary care, immunizations, cancer screenings, behavioral health, social work, and medicare questions. A community space is planned to host outreach and public health events.
​
The renovation comes on the heels of the planned closure of 2 other CVS stores in Hartford. The CVS stores at 777 Main Street in Downtown Hartford and 690 Wethersfield Avenue will close by the end of March. Check out that story here: http://www.theconnecticutscoop.com/.../hartford-scoop-cvs...
