Medical clinics debut at Walmart stores and the photos from one Chicago location are included in this blog post (click to enlarge the images to see the details such as pricing, etc.).<\/p>

Walmart has been adding health clinics to its stores during the last 3 years as part of its drive for \"one-stop shopping.\" There were 100 in-store clinics in 21 states in 2010.<\/p>

The clinics are staffed by nurse practitioners. Does that fit the description of \"Family Medicine Specialists\"?<\/p>

Services include $14 for a pregnancy test, $29 for a flu vaccine, and $49 for treatment of a sinus infection or physical examination. The most expensive services cost $75, for treatment of bladder infections and ear wax removal.<\/p>

CVS Pharmacy<\/a> is not too far behind with their own model for in-store clinics called the \"Minute Clinic\".<\/p>
