Hospital group offers free virtual health care during Milton

AdventHealth Centra Care will offer free virtual urgent care to people during Hurricane Milton.

The health care group’s urgent care arm will provide medical services through its mobile app starting at 8 a.m. Wednesday Oct. 9 and allow patients to access it until 8 p.m. Oct. 10. Patients will have to punch in the code Milton to avoid payment.

An AdventHealth spokesperson says it will have providers from across Central Florida on hand during the storm and, since the consultations will be held via cell phone, expected power outages should not affect access.
