“We are proud to open our first Hy-Vee Health infusion clinic as we expand our focus toward providing trusted, high-quality care to infusion patients,” said Aaron Wiese, president of Hy-Vee. “As an independent clinic, Hy-Vee Health is an affordable, convenient and accessible option for patients who face chronic and complex conditions. Our vision for Hy-Vee Health is to provide convenient, cost-effective health solutions for patients across the United States.”
Several additional Hy-Vee Health infusion clinics are already planned to open later this year.
The Hy-Vee Health infusion clinic is a further extension of Hy-Vee’s commitment to specialty care.

Hy-Vee has invested heavily in other health-and-wellness areas by employing a team of registered dietitians and creating a free educational program for children, Hy-Vee KidsFit, which promotes physical activity and healthy-lifestyle habits. Most recently, the retailer introduced telehealth and online pharmacy provider RedBox Rx, pharmacy benefit manager Vivid Clear Rx, and e-commerce health-and-wellness site WholeLotta Good.
Employee-owned Hy-Vee operates more than 285 retail stores across eight Midwestern states, with sales of more than $13 billion annually.
