Advocate Health Care announced on Wednesday that it will be closing all of its clinics located within Walgreens stores throughout Illinois. The decision comes as part of a strategic shift and is set to take effect in early February.
This move will impact numerous communities that rely on these clinics for accessible healthcare services. Advocate Health Care has stated that they are committed to providing quality care, but the current partnership with Walgreens is no longer aligned with their operational goals.
Patients who have been utilizing these clinics will need to seek alternative healthcare options as the closure date approaches. Advocate Health Care has assured the public that they will work to facilitate a smooth transition for affected patients, directing them to other facilities within their network. The organization emphasizes its ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of the communities it serves, despite this significant change in service availability.
