I thought I had read something about this before, but didn't see it here.
Wal-Mart Stores will open its first in-store medical clinics under its own brand name after leasing space in dozens of stores to outside companies that operate the quick-service health stops.
The world's largest retailer said last week it will open The Clinic at Wal-Mart as a joint venture with local hospital systems in Atlanta, Dallas and Little Rock, Ark., starting in April.
Further down in the article it mentions these clinics being staffed by nurses and doctor's assitants to handle things like sprains, colds, sore throats, etc. What do you guys think- good idea that will help ease the burden on crowded ERs and Walkin clinics? Or setting themselves up for malpractice claims?
