More Health Clinics Pop Up Inside Retailers

According to a new report, the growth of health clinics inside retail stores rebounded in 2011 and is poised for a "second spring" this year, driven by well-capitalized retailers and grocers. According to a report by Thomas Charland, chief executive of Merchant Medicine, which tracks the growth of retail medical care services, the number of retail clinics jumped 11.2 percent to 1,355 in 2011 after slow growth in 2010 and 2009. The number of retail clinics rose only 3 percent in 2010 and had flat growth in 2009.
