A retail health or in-store medical center is located within a larger retail operation that offers general medical services to the public on an ongoing basis. Retail clinics in grocery stores, pharmacy chains, and mass merchandisers are changing the way consumers obtain treatment for common family illnesses such as strep throat and ear, eye, sinus, bladder, and bronchial infections. There are estimates that there will be 500 retail health clinics in operation by the end of 2006. The market has been largely driven by small start-up chains, such as CVS/MinuteClinic, RediClinic and Take Care Health Systems, which run the outlets under agreement with retailers and have had few formal ties to the medical establishment. Now, traditional medical providers are stepping up to the counter, driven by the threat of new competition, the opportunity to recruit new patients -- and real concerns about the quality of care. Some large regional health-care systems are starting their own clinics directly with retail partners, while other medical groups and doctors offices are signing contracts to supervise clinic staff, and striking up referral arrangements with retail clinics. Staffed mainly by nurse practitioners who are licensed to treat a wide range of minor illnesses and prescribe medications, retail clinics have grown rapidly over the past five years as retailers, including CVS, Kroger, Wal-Mart Stores and Walgreen, have signed up with more than a half-dozen clinic operators.
