Walgreen’s Take Care Clinics are professional walk-in healthcare centers in the company’s drug stores. The collaboration will allow Memorial Health-affiliated physician practices to share information on these clinics for patients who cannot access care at Memorial Health due to time constraints or closed facilities. Similarly, providers at Take Care Clinics will educate patients on Memorial Health services.
