Tumultuous times continue for Walgreens while working to reshape his retail health care strategy. Health avocation last week Closed its 55 clinics inside Walgreens stores in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Each of the 47 Illinois clinics and eight in Wisconsin employed one or two medical office assistants and other clinicians who supported virtual care services. The partnership started in 2016, with Advocate Leasing Store Space from Walgreens.
Advocate will focus on other ways to give patients access to care, including enlarged virtual services, said a spokesperson for the health system Modern health care.
It is only the last transition of health care for the retailer, who would have progressed in the renegitation contracts with his pharmacy services managers and while trying to sell his participation in the Primary Supplier Villagemd. Walgreens invested $ 5.2 billion in VillageMD in 2021 and contributed to an additional $ 3.5 billion to the purchase of Summithealth per Villagemd, a network of multi -specialized and urgent care services.
