Atlanta-based Piedmont Healthcare will begin operating and providing clinical services at the retail clinics inside 27 Walgreens stores in the Atlanta area in August.
Once Piedmont takes over the clinics, they will be called Piedmont QuickCare at Walgreens.
"This new retail offering complements our virtual care (Piedmont On-Call), urgent care, and same-day primary care offerings to give consumers more choice for non-emergency services," said Piedmont CEO Kevin Brown. "Piedmont QuickCare at Walgreens will serve as another convenient option for our patients."
As part of the agreement, Piedmont and Walgreens will form a collaborative council that will focus on meeting the organizations' goals of improving patient care while reducing costs.
