With the cold and flu season right around the corner, Target guests can now visit their new local Target Clinics in select Twin Cities Target stores.
The new Target Clinics are staffed with licensed nurse practitioners and physician assistants and offer a variety of services including: flu shots, treatment for common illnesses such as strep throat, bronchitis and skin conditions. Target Clinic is working to accept all local insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid.
Target Clinics are designed to be a convenient complement guests’ primary care relationships. Patients can request a full description of the treatment received at Target Clinics to share with their primary physician.
The new Target Clinics demonstrate a true focus on the patient by offering quality and value with convenient features such as spacious exam rooms and a private waiting area.
