SUMMARY - Walk-In Clinics
A man with a sore throat walks into a clinic, no appointment needed, the wait time posted on a screen. An hour later, he has seen a doctor, received a diagnosis, and left with a prescription. Simple, convenient, and available when he needed it. A woman without a family doctor uses walk-in clinics for all her healthcare - a different provider each time, no one who knows her history, no continuity of care. Her diabetes is managed piecemeal, her records scattered, her care fragmented.
