90 CVS minute clinics to close
Talk about locums tenens (the topic of our May cover story, btw). The WSJ blog reports that CVS has closed about 90 of its 550 minute clinics and plans to make them seasonal. Most of those clinics are within 10 minutes of other minute clinics, the post says, suggesting there may be a glut in the market.
So the weeding out process has begun-- or is this just another sign of patients cutting back on health care in lean financial times?
