Now I've Seen Everything...

We've talked about emergent care clinics taking the place of emergency rooms but now I've seen everything.

Feb 11, 2011

In addition to encountering "in-store" clinics at Walmart, CVS or Walgreens, here is an iPhone shot taken today at Orlando International Airport.

Right in line with other Terminal "B" shops like Borders, Starbuck's and the Sunglasses Hut, I found Solantic's Walk-In Urgent care.

Designed to resemble a fast food counter, "menu" includes blood work, blood pressure, cholesterol screening, etc.

Not sure if this has any implications for all regarding packaging, shipping or storing (beyond adding a new stop on the supply chain) but this is cutting edge "take it to the consumer" healthcare.
