During the pandemic, StarMed Healthcare grew from a small, local clinic to the go-to source for Charlotteans, distributing COVID tests and giving out vaccines. "We're always looking for ways to see where we can add value or where there's a challenge in the community,' CEO Michael Estramonte said. On Wednesday, StarMed stepped up during a new crisis: the national baby formula shortage. The healthcare provider said they were able to provide about a weeks-worth of formula to about 1,100 babies. No registration was required but supplies were limited. The distribution began at noon on Tuesday. StarMed said Monday's shipment arrived early, so they were hoping to distribute even more formula than they intended.
