Grand Rapids, Mich. — Meijer is expanding its partnerships with healthcare providers and hospital systems to increase community access to services through in-store and store campus medical clinics.
The Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer’s current in-store clinics are located:
• Bronson FastCare Clinic at the Portage, Mich., Meijer
• Beaumont FastCare at the Royal Oak, Mich., Meijer
• Reid Health Ready Care Walk-in Clinic at the Richmond, Ind., Meijer
• Family Quick Care at the Normal, Ill., Meijer
This year, Meijer will join forces with Milwaukee, Wis.-based Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network to open in-store clinics at the Waukesha and Sussex Meijer stores, and Sparrow Health System in Lansing, Mich., to open similar clinics at Meijer stores in the Lansing area. The clinics will offer convenient, affordable access to care for many minor health problems, such as cold and flu symptoms, sore throats, and ear, sinus and urinary tract infections.
The retailer began establishing these types of partnerships several years ago, which resulted in four in-store medical clinics, seven hearing centers and 75 optical centers.
Additionally, Meijer partnered with Spectrum Health in November 2015 to open a full-service Meijer retail pharmacy on-site at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich. Spectrum Health has also purchased property from Meijer in front of its stores in Ionia and Grand Haven to build medical centers. Construction on the center in Ionia is slated to conclude this spring.
Meijer is a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer that operates 223 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. For more information, visit www.meijer.com.
