Baptist Health South Florida is the first health system in the nation to hire clinical wellness pharmacists, the 11-hospital system said Nov. 15.
The system welcomed clinician wellness pharmacists Marissa Brooks, PharmD, and Brandon Welch, PharmD. Dr. Brooks will focus on oncology, community health and employee health, and Dr. Welch will specialize in executive health, orthopedics and sports medicine.
Baptist Health South Florida decided to create the new role so it can expand "its wellness and well-being services for its more than 29,000 employees and physicians," the Coral Gables, Fla.-based system said.
