Take Care Clinics (special offer)
Giveaway is closed. Winners are listed here.
Take Care Clinics, located in select Walgreens across the country, are walk-in, professional clinics that provide healthcare services for patients 18 months and older. Staffed with board-certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants, you can get treatment for everything from minor cuts and scrapes to adult vaccinations, and also receive complete health evaluations.
The great thing about these Take Care Clinics is that the treatment is affordable. If you have insurance, you just make a one-time copayment on the day you visit. If you don’t have insurance, cash payments average just $59-$80. As someone who didn’t have health insurance for a while, I know just how expensive, not to mention stressful, a simple doctor’s visit can be.
School just let out here last week, and I know many parents are getting ready to send their kids off to camp. For a limited time, the Take Care Clinics are offering half-priced camp physicals ($30) and free tips for staying healthy so that summer ailments and injuries can be prevented. These exams help to determine if a patient is able to safely participate in typical camp activities and include a complete review of the child’s health history and immunizations to ensure that they are up to date. If you’d like to take advantage of this offer, find a Take Care Clinic near you!

There are several good tips that I will use, this is a great site.
There’s a need for clinics like this in our country. There’s so many with no insurance.
i would love th be the winner, thank you
They are building a Walgreens in our city and I will be interested to see if a clinic will be included. It sounds handy for minor problems.
I would love if they opened a clinic in my area, this is such a great idea!

These clinics are such a great idea.
It seems like a nice, affordable option for people with no insurance
I just moved to a new city, I’m hoping I can find one of these near me!
I went there once when we were temporarily out of work without insurance, and it was a godsend. I had a strep infection which they diagnosed and I picked up my medication there quickly. If I had gone to a clinic it would have cost me an arm and a leg. Thanks for the giveaway!
great, convenient, program! and thanks for the giveaway
They don’t have one in this area although there are two local Walgreen’s’ – one is a 24 hour. I love Walgreen’s – can drive through to pick up prescriptions and save the hassle of getting my kids in and out of the car seats
It seems like a good alternative and seems pretty convienent
This is a very helpful site!

This sounds like a great program for thoe who are unemployed
These clinics are a wonderful idea.

Bravo for this service!
This brings to mind again the need for a national health care plan in the US. EVERY CITIZEN should have health coverage. Its time for a national plan. Then this clinic would not be necessary.
They don’t have any in my area, but they are expanding. And at many of the clinics, you can get prescribed a medicine on the spot.

There are over 330 Take Care Clinics throughout the country.
As usual, Walgreen’s is an innovator in health care options.
Thank you.
Wow-great to know they exist. Too bad, the nearest one to me is a too many miles away. I’m sure Walgreens will add more to the program.
I first heard about these clinics on a national news show (I forgot which) and think it’s a great step in the progress of medical care. There isn’t one around me. I’m in Cali and the one furthest west is in Las Vegas, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed that they open up one in my area soon.
I always want to find alternative items
I love the Take Care clinics, Ive stopped in a few times when the kids had minor problems, a rash, bumps, etc. And they are so nice! Its also really convienent and Ive never had to wait long!

Great idea when you can’t get into the doctor’s office.
Free healthcare visits are a wonderful idea.

I have a Walgreens within walking distance.
How wonderful. I learned that they provide health evaluations and adult vaccines, like those that help protect against tetanus and prevent shingles, to help you stay healthy.
I didn’t know they accepted so many insurance plans. That’s good to know.
I thought it was for only people who was unisuranced. Its good to know that I can take my son or myself there for minor stuff.
This is a wonderful idea. I don’t have a Walgreens nearby, but I’ve heard they might be building one soon.
I love that Walgreens is taking such a positive step like this when the economy is in such bad shape, and people are really worried about losing their lifelong jobs, or have lost them. Medical care without coverage can be astoundingly frightening.
Wow, $30 physicals is a great deal! Thanks so much for sharing this. If I hadn’t visited their website I wouldnt have discovered they have a clinic in my area. I’ll definitely be visiting.

A great backup when you can’t get to the doctor.
I really like Walgreens, in spite of all the other competitors I still go there for my prescriptions.
This sounds like a great idea. I have several Walgreens in my area but they dont have a Take Care clinic’s in my area , hopefully they will in the future.
I knew they had free healthcare for those who lost their jobs, but did not know it also applies to those who are uninsured.
I was impressed! I am passing this information on to some friends that could really use the clinics!
Very interesting information about the clinics- I wasn’t aware. thanks!
There’s a clinic 3 miles away from me! I never knew that, and now I’ll be sure to check them out!
I love the clinics. Very convenient when you can’t get to the doctor and don’t want to visit the ER for something minor.
I saw these when I was in Vegas, though they were a great idea
