The Death of Retail Health

For the 148th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast we are talking about the death of retail health…or is it not really dead? We start this episode off by discussing whether or not we were shocked by the closing of retail health clinics from Walmart, Dollar General, and others. Then, we take a look at Walgreens, CVS, and Amazon to see if they are heading for a similar fate, and more broadly if retail health as a whole is dying off. Next, we discuss the positives of retail health – sharing the good things that have come from it and the lessons we learned along the way. We then conclude this episode by sharing our thoughts on what we think the future holds for retail health.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

• Were you shocked when Walmart, Dollar General, and others shuttered their retail health clinics?
• Are Walgreens, CVS, and Amazon headed for the same endpoint? Meaning, are we in the twilight of retail health?
• What are some of the good things & lessons learned from retail health?
• What do you think the future is for retail health?

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast.
