Retail Clinics, The Emerging Market for Convenience and In-Store Healthcare

Retail clinics, also known as convenience clinics, represent a disruptive innovation into the U.S. health care market, which evolved from and is uniquely positioned to benefit from the health care system’s shortcomings.

These clinics present a new opportunity for retail outlets to earn more revenue from rents and 'indirect' revenues from sales to the retail store as a result of a clinic visit. But there is also an opportunity for diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies to capitalize on this trend.
