Here in California, we have QuickHealth in SF. Wellness Express is in Longs Drug stores in the Bay Area. The whole business model has been slow to come to California.

Other retail clinics:

Aurora Quick Care
Family Express Care
HealthRite
MediMin
MedPoint Express
Quick Quality Care
SmartCare
Take Care Health Systems
The Little Clinic

Quick Health uses a different model. It's staffed by doctors and is not just for convenience, but to give basic primary care to the uninsured. Shouldn't we expand this idea to help our 6 million uninsured in California?

MinuteClinic told me they only hire FNPs for now.
