Take Care Health Systems Opens New Clinics at Walgreens in Atlanta

Take Care Health Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walgreens, has opened five additional new clinics at Walgreens drugstores in the greater Atlanta area. These openings are part of the company’s second stage of a multi-phase expansion plan.

The company has said that the new clinics in the Atlanta market are staffed by board-certified family nurse practitioners who treat patients 18 months and older for common illnesses and are licensed to write prescriptions that can be filled at the patient’s pharmacy of choice.

Take Care nurse practitioners also provide school, sports and camp physicals and offer vaccinations for chickenpox, flu, hepatitis B, measles, mumps and rubella, meningitis, pneumonia, tetanus and human pappilomavirus.

Lillian Williams, lead nurse practitioner for the Atlanta market, said: “Take Care Health has treated more than 675,000 patients across the US since November 2005. Residents throughout the Atlanta area are some of those patients that have embraced this high-quality health care service. As a result, we’ve added five new clinics to the 16 clinics we opened last year, giving Atlanta-area residents greater access to convenient and affordable health care.”
