Hoag-quality care has been cleared for takeoff at John Wayne Airport: Hoag and JWA officials announced plans for the Hoag Fly Well Clinic, a first-of-its-kind health care facility that offers travelers health services including COVID-19 rapid testing, office visits, telehealth consultations, immunizations, treatment of cold and flu symptoms and prescriptions.
The partnership represents the first airport health clinic in Orange County and comes at a time of heightened health awareness among passengers and Airport employees.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world’s travel habits, shining a spotlight brighter than ever on passengers’ health and travel safety,” Hoag President and CEO Robert T. Braithwaite said. “Hoag is proud to partner with John Wayne Airport to address the health care needs of the 10 million people who fly to or from the airport every year.”
“John Wayne Airport continually innovates to help our guests connect to their travel destination in a way that is safe and secure, and this partnership aligns perfectly with our mission,” Airport Director Barry Rondinella said. “As the highest-ranked health care provider in Orange County, Hoag is uniquely positioned to address our guests’ specific health care needs, as well as the needs of the nearly 900 people who work at the Airport. We are excited by what the Fly Well Clinic will mean to Airport guests, employees and tenants.”
The permanent 850-square-foot Fly Well Clinic, opening in spring 2021, will offer an onsite licensed health care provider, general health and wellness information and other services, including:
- On-site office visits
- Treatment of cold and flu symptoms
- Rapid COVID-19 testing
- Vaccinations – including flu shots
- Virtual Reality demonstration, including relaxation and mindfulness journeys
- Blood pressure and other vital screenings
- On demand telehealth appointments
“Hoag believes in meeting people where they are on their health care journey. In this case, we are taking that philosophy literally,” Braithwaite said. “Hoag is excited to be JWA’s partner in providing travelers access to health care services on their travel journey.”
The Hoag Fly Well Clinic is located post-security in Terminal B, across from Gate 10.
