Walgreens will squeeze primary care clinics into
as many as 700 of its U.S. stores over the next
few years in a major expansion of the care it
offers customers.
The drugstore chain said that it will partner
with VillageMD to set up doctor-led clinics that
also use nurses, social workers and therapists to
provide regular treatment for patients.
The retailer will redesign stores that get the
clinics, narrow their shelves and pull products like
tobacco and other grocery items to make room.
