Chiropractic Care Summerville, South Carolina

After a successful pilot test, Take Care Health Systems LLC will open 10 health clinics in Kansas City-area Walgreens in the summer. Take Care, a privately held health care startup based in Conshohocken, Pa., said in August that it would test its clinic-in-a-drugstore concept in six Kansas City-area Osco Drug stores and 10 Rite Aid pharmacies in Portland, Ore. Since then, three of the 10 Portland-area clinics have closed. But nine Take Care clinics have been launched in Kansas City-area Osco stores, and all remain open.

The clinics’ success here prompted Take Care’s announcement Tuesday that it and the Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG) will partner to open 10 clinics in the Kansas City market and 10 in the St. Louis market in the summer. Walgreen, the nation’s largest pharmacy chain, said it also will partner with InterFit Health’s RediClinics and Pinnacle Health System on in-store clinics in other markets later this year. “By partnering with these companies, we can improve health care delivery by making it more convenient and affordable for patients with common ailments,” Don Huonker, Walgreens vice president of pharmacy services, said in a release. “The services offered by our in-store clinics will complement care provided by the patient’s primary-care physician.”

Peter Miller, co-founder and president of Take Care Health Systems, said recently that the company planned to roll out the concept to hundreds of clinics in dozens of cities within five years. “Once we understand some of the issues we’re going to face in the marketplace, we have every intention of expanding very quickly,” said Miller, formerly president of Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceutica Products LP. In Portland, the company found that some clinics were too close to one another and were underperforming, Take Care Marketing Manager Lauren Tierney said. Apparently, investors have been satisfied with the corrective measurers. In March, Take Care said, it raised $77 million in a second-round financing deal — the largest sum raised in the health care services industry in the past two years.

Ever since Walgreens and Eckerd (Wackerds) started opening up buildings on every corner in America, I’ve been very worried. Like the article above, it’s clear that this is for profit and not the good of mankind. Wackerds doesn’t make their billions selling batteries, pens, and bottled water. They make it selling drugs. And, if you recall from your Doctors Report, drugs are far and away the leading cause of death in the United States as well as the leading cause of kidney, liver, and heart failure and the number one cause of hospitalization (2.2mil/year). Now, with clinics being located right inside of Walgreens and I’m sure Eckerd can’t be far behind, they can now dispense disaster and death even faster.

We’re hopeful that by being a Maximized Living person vs. being a “medical person” you’ll decide to cause WAG stock to plummet by limiting your drug intake through better living and chiropractic as well as telling others to do the same. Let’s save the world together!
