A walk in clinic is also called a retail clinic because of its location in strip malls, pre-existing drugstores and association with pharmacies. They are predominately operated daily by nurse practitioners, assistants and technicians. They assist the community with their diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention (where possible) of common illnesses such as the seasonal ones or preventable ones with vaccination shots. They also assist with minor injuries that don't require cutting or surgery of any kind. They offer examinations and treatments for simple skin conditions; wellness physicals for athletics, school and basic stress test are available as well.
Yet, it has been vastly determined that the facilities that call themselves a walk in clinic vary slightly not only in the services they offer but the way they present their services and their preferred method of payment. Although they are located in many metropolitan areas they are also needed in the suburbs and rural areas where healthcare is still needed and expensive to maintain these days.
