“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for CVS/pharmacy MinuteClinic. I received promotional items as a thank you for participating.”

A few weeks ago when Connor was sick Terence thought he was coming down with the ickies too.  We have a busy lifestyle and it usually takes a day or two to get into our regular PCP.  The next day Terence walked into a MinuteClinic at our local CVS Pharmacy.  The MinuteClinic is a walk-in clinic located in select CVS/pharmacy stores in 28 states and DC. They are open 7 days a week with evening hours and you don’t need to make an appointment.  Terence was seen right away, it was fast and convenient and he received quality healthcare.  He even came home and told me about his entire experience and how he’d rather visit MinuteClinic again than a normal doctor’s visit because it was so convenient.  It’s also a lot cheaper than most physician visits.

The dreaded flu has hit our area pretty hard.  Thankfully you can visit any of the 7100 CVS MinuteClinics and get a flu shot.  No appointment needed.  With every flu shot you will also receive a 20% off shopping pass at CVS as well.

Benefits of visiting a MinuteClinic:

• High Quality – certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants who can diagnose, treat and write prescriptions when medically appropriate
• Affordable – most insurance plans accepted; cash, checks and credit cards also welcome
• Convenient – no appointment needed, open 7 days a week, evenings and weekends, and located inside your neighborhood CVS/pharmacy store
• Coordinated – visit summary sent to your primary care provider, with permission, or assistance finding a provider, if you don’t have one.
