Walk-in care clinics were already on a growth trajectory in the decade before COVID-19 hit. The pandemic only emphasized the need for readily available, unscheduled healthcare delivery.
âWe have seen a real demand for walk-in access to care,â said Dr. Dan Barnes, president of FirstHealth Physician Group, âespecially after hours and on weekends. A convenient care clinic is great for non-emergency, urgent needs.â
