It won't be much in the way of healthcare. Most of their in store clinics in my area (Northeast Ohio) are staffed by an RN and medical assitant's, so they are limited on what they can do. I think it's a nice gesture, good PR and advertising.

It's an interesting concept. There are multiple free clinics here in South Carolina and they are actually staffed by volunteer physicians that rotate. However, none of the Walgreens here have in store clinics. Most of the free clinics are connected with churches and non-profit organizations.

It's a start and should help with preventive measures, but what about comprehensive care? _________________ JT http://www.ohioinsureplan.com/ http://www.ohioinsureplan.com/index.php/annuities/annuity-quotes/ Health insurance quotes, Medicare supplements, annuity quotes, and life insurance coverage.
