Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine, Fla., is including new telehealth options for patients as part of a recent rebranding strategy, local news outlet News4Jax reports.
Flagler is rebranding to Flagler Health+ to reflect its shifting focus from a hospital-centric model to one focused on the physical, social and economic health of communities.
