Walgreens (NYSE:WAG) (Nasdaq:WAG) today introduced its
“Healthcare Clinic” at select Walgreens as the new branding for the
more than 370 in-store retail clinics, replacing the former Take
Care Clinic name that has stood since the brand’s inception in
2004. The national rebranding effort is already in process and
expected to be complete by the end of August.
In addition to branding changes in stores, consumers will be
directed to visit the Healthcare Clinic’s new website,
www.walgreens.com/clinic.
“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 health
care experience serving a wide variety of patient needs,” said Dr.
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.”
Take Care Health Systems LLC will remain a subsidiary of
Walgreens, as well as the practice management company for the
Healthcare Clinics at select Walgreens.
The clinic rebranding represents the further alignment of
Walgreens health care assets and affiliations under a singular,
trusted brand identity. The Healthcare Clinic nurse practitioners
and physician assistants are part of a network of more than 70,000
health care professionals across Walgreens pharmacy, Walgreens
Infusion Services, Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy and other lines of
business. Other recent health initiatives such as the formation of
accountable care organizations (ACO), clinical affiliations,
expansion of Medicare Part D programs and more, all help advance
the company’s mission to transform the role of community pharmacy
by providing more comprehensive care options, delivering a
differentiated patient experience and solidifying Walgreens
position as a strategic partner of choice.
Healthcare Clinics at select Walgreens will continue to offer
the same high quality, affordable and convenient services, with a
focus on prevention, wellness and the monitoring and management of
chronic conditions.
