Convenient Care Clinics (CCC) are small healthcare facilities located in high-traffic retail outlets with pharmacies that provide affordable and accessible, non-emergency health care to consumers who otherwise would have to wait for appointments with a traditional Primary Care Physician or Provider (PCP). Often open seven days a week, CCCs provide a promising new healthcare option that complements traditional medical services providers.

CCCs are primarily staffed by highly qualified advanced practice nurses (including nurse practitioners (NP)), as well as by physician assistants (PA), and/or physicians (MD or DO). All CCC providers have advanced education in providing quality health care for common episodic ailments including cold/flu, rashes/skin irritation, and muscles strains or sprains. CCC staff also provide immunizations, physicals, and preventive health screenings.
