retail clinics

Retail clinics are healthcare facilities located within retail stores, such as pharmacies or supermarkets, staffed primarily by nurse practitioners or physician assistants. They offer quick, convenient, and affordable care for common illnesses, minor injuries, vaccinations, and basic health screenings. Typically, patients can walk in without appointments and receive timely treatment for issues like colds, flu, sore throats, and minor skin problems. These clinics aim to increase access to basic healthcare services, reduce wait times in traditional doctor's offices, and provide a cost-effective alternative for non-emergency medical needs.
