News that The AeroClinic has opened its second airport-based health clinic speaks not only to the importance of the convenience care industry but also to the industry’s evolution as health care professionals continue their quest to provide consumers with quality, affordable and convenient healthcare services.

The fact that Take Care has hit the one millionth-patient mark is important because it is yet further evidence of just how quickly convenient care has ramped up in recent months, and offers a hint of what’s coming. While patient satisfaction, quality care and convenience contributed to the growth of the market, there’s no doubt that a recently launched marketing campaign, and the growing number of clinics that have opened over the last year has significantly helped bolster foot traffic.

For several years, the Walgreens annual shareholders meeting had been a time of yearly celebration; this year, however, executives had a bit of explaining to do, in order to convince investors that the company remains a top-notch investment.

NEW YORK In its sweeping, soup-to-nuts drive to regain momentum and recapture its marketing mojo, the nation’s most widespread and profitable drug retailer continues to surprise.

 

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Take Care Health Systems, which is owned by Walgreens, has expanded its presence in Pennsylvania with new retail-based health clinics in the Philadelphia area and Pittsburgh.

The company has opened the doors of four new clinics in the Pittsburgh area.

A fifth new clinic is slated to open in Pittsburgh in late December. These openings are in addition to eight existing Pittsburgh locations. There are now 15 clinics statewide.

NEW YORK — The new flagship Walgreens store in the heart of bustling Times Square is an impressive location with an exterior wrapped in massive digital signage and an interior that displays the latest in innovative merchandising at mass retail—and the beauty department is no exception.
