Walk-in clinics in stores and pharmacies can treat minor injuries, infections and common illnesses.
You have a runny nose, and your head is pounding. You suspect you might have a sinus infection. But your doctor can't see you for three more days, so where can you go to get some relief? You've heard of a new type of clinic offering quick, same-day service. These walk-in clinics, such as MinuteClinic and RediClinic, are popping up in stores, pharmacies and workplaces across the United States. Some hospitals and health care systems, including Mayo Clinic, are starting their own walk-in clinics similar to those in stores. Make sure you understand what to expect and what services are offered before heading to a walk-in clinic.
