Pharmacies adding healthcare services
Fri, 06-05-2009 - 1:22pm

Walgreens and CVS have announced plans to add healthcare services to their in-store clinics. The plan is to have advanced-degree nurses known as practitioners for certain injections, wart and skin tag removal, and closing minor wounds. Some offer care for sprains and strains and projects are underway for breathing treatments and other infusions. Costs for services run from $55 to $75 rather than the $100 or more for a doctor's visit.

With the number of uninsured Americans estimated at more than 46 million, do you think this is a good alternative?
