Take Care Health Clinics Treat 500,000 Patients

Take Care Health Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Walgreens, has announced that 500,000 patients have been treated at Take Care Health clinics since opening in November 2005.

According to the company, it currently manages 172 convenient care clinics in 18 markets throughout 14 states and plans to have more than 400 clinics open by the end of 2008.

Peter Miller, Take Care Health Systems’s president and CEO, said: “We are thrilled that Take Care Health clinics have provided high-quality, affordable and convenient health care to half a million patients across the US, including Anita Davis in Chicago.

“The fact that Take Care Health providers have treated this many patients since the first clinic opened only two and a half years ago shows that we are quickly emerging as an important part of the solution to the current health care crisis.”
