Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Spectrum Health opened its first retail-based clinic in a Meijer grocery store July 12.
The walk-in clinic provides nonemergency care including treatment of allergies, bruises and cold and flu. The clinic does not offer on-site X-rays, stitches or treatment for broken bones.
The clinic is run by a physician and two nurse practitioners. It accepts insurance; however, patients without insurance can pay $69 to be seen.
"We are very excited to offer patients a new way to access our services in a convenient location," said Tina Freese Decker, executive vice president and COO of Spectrum Health. "This is another example of how Spectrum Health and Meijer are working together to make health and wellness part of people's everyday lives. We want to make it as easy as possible for people to get healthy and stay healthy."
