I was in the Madisonville Wal-Mart Friday and noticed that there is now a clinic inside the store. It got me to wondering if Kroger also offered medical services in its stores. There is not a clinic in the Madisonville Kroger but there are some clinics in stores in other parts of Kentucky as well as Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, and Tennessee.
The Little Clinic offers medical care on your schedule, in your neighborhood –– right where you grocery shop. Clinics are staffed by Board Certified Nurse Practitioners (BCNPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) that treat common illnesses and minor injuries. They also provide wellness care; like routine check-ups, screenings and vaccinations. Plus, they can prescribe medication when you need it.
No appointment is necessary, the clinic is open 7 days a week (including weeknights), and accepts most insurance plans.

This is very interesting. I noticed they have locations in Lexington. I lived in Lexington for a little while and used the Tates Creek Kroger and never noticed The Little Clinic. That is a really good idea. If people are sick and decide to run to the store to pick up some medicine, if they see the clinic they may decide to pop in for a visit to see if they can get a perscription medication instead.
