Walgreens Announces Its Take Care Clinics Will Now Offer Diagnosis and Treatment for Chronic Conditions

Walgreens has announced that it is expanding its healthcare services to include diagnosing and treating patients for chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes and high cholesterol. This move would set the store apart from other retail store clinics that help customers manage chronic illnesses, but typically only after they have been diagnosed elsewhere.

To accommodate these new services, Walgreens will staff more than 300 of their Take Care clinics with nurse practitioners and physician assistants to do tests, make diagnoses, write prescriptions, refer patients for additional tests and help them manage their conditions.
