"For someone like myself who has a high deductible and pays for all office visits [and] meds, this is the perfect place for us to come. I would not hesitate to come back - the care was excellent."

"A recent survey shows that 78% of adults feel strongly that retail-based health centers provide a convenient way for people to get basic medical services."

- The Wall Street Journal, 2005.

"Evidence shows that Convenient Care Clinics do not increase overall demand for medical services, but offer an alternative for consumers facing access problems within the traditional health care system."

- California HealthCare Foundation, 2006.

The Convenient Care industry began in 2000, when the first CCCs appeared in Minneapolis-St. Paul, operated by QuickMedx. These first health clinics initially saw a very limited number of illnesses and accepted only cash for services. Today there are over a dozen companies across the country that have formed to provide health care services, to individuals and families, for common illnesses. The clinics have progressed to forming contracts with health insurance companies, while also accepting cash payments for a visit.

As of January 2008, there are well over 800 CCCs throughout the United States. CCA Members' clinics are located in convenient locations such as drugstores, food stores and other retail settings. Our clinics make it easier and more convenient for patients to get the right level of care, in the right place, at the right time.
