Take Care Health Systems, an operator of convenient care clinics and a wholly owned subsidiary of Walgreens, has expanded into Indiana for the first time by opening four Take Care Clinics at Walgreens drugstores in the Indianapolis area.
The clinics are walk-in, professional health care centers open seven days a week with extended evening and weekend hours.
Take Care Clinics in Indianapolis are staffed by board-certified family nurse practitioners who treat patients 18 months and older for common illnesses such as strep throat, ear and sinus infections, pink eye and poison ivy, and are licensed to write prescriptions that can be filled at the patient's pharmacy of choice. Take Care nurse practitioners also provide school and camp physicals and offer vaccinations for flu, hepatitis B, meningitis and tetanus.
Peter Miller, president and CEO of Take Care Health Systems, said: "We are very excited to bring Take Care Clinics to Indiana for the first time. Take Care Health Providers have treated more than 600,000 patients since our first clinic opened in November 2005, with exceedingly high patient satisfaction ratings, and we believe that the people of Indianapolis will also find value in our high-quality, convenient and affordable model of care."
