Walgreens renaming its in-store clinics

Walgreens has announced that its Take Care Clinics at more than 370 locations nationwide will soon be called Healthcare Clinics.

The new name is part of a rebranding effort expected to be completed by the end of August. The Take Care Clinic name had been in place since 2004. The in-store clinics also have a new website.

“The new Healthcare Clinic allows us to leverage the strength of the Walgreens brand to help attract and introduce new patients to our retail clinic services, while creating a more seamless healthcare experience serving a wide variety of patient needs,” said Jeffrey Kang, Walgreens senior vice president of health and wellness services and solutions. “The health care landscape is evolving, and with a diverse and expansive collection of assets, Walgreens is uniquely positioned to play an integral role in addressing the needs of patients, payers, and providers by helping to lower costs to the system while helping more people get, stay, and live well.”

The in-store clinics offer services that focus on prevention, wellness, and the monitoring and management of chronic conditions.
