We've all seen healthcare innovation in the form of new devices and pharmaceuticals. Here's a service-oriented healthcare innovation. Take Care Health establishes walk-in mini-clinics in retail establishments such as CVS, Wal*Mart, and Target. Staffed by nurse practitioners, these centers charge around $25–$50 per visit. Visits usually involve a series of common tests and the likes of flu shots.
Started by Hal Rosenbluth who previously had built his travel services firm, Rosenbluth International to a progressive giant with in excess of $3 billion in revenue. Take Care Health should have over 1,000 locations by the close of 2007.
This healthcare innovation has the opportunity to address the lack of health care availability at a reasonable price for many Americans, including children. These services are clearly not only for low-income customer, the growing ranks of high-deductible plans makes this an attractive alternative to the current system.
