Answering a national need
Take Care Health Clinics – planned for more than
400 Walgreen stores by the end of calendar 2008 – are
providing convenient healthcare access to thousands
of Americans at a lower cost than emergency rooms
and doctors’ offices. The clinics are also bringing
nurse practitioners like Denise Evans (left) in Deerfield,
Illinois, into our stores with the ability to treat minor
illnesses and injuries.
Diabetes disarmed
Walgreens partners with the Joslin Diabetes Center,
which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School
and recognized as the global leader in diabetes
research, care and education. Together, we’re
developing education campaigns to help the
21 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes
and the 54 million at risk for this disease.
