New clinic model brings expanded space, convenient primary, acute care services to Fishers
Indianapolis, IN (November 4, 2024)—Community Health Network announces the opening of a new Community Clinic at Walgreens in Fishers, bringing a modern, expanded model of convenient healthcare services to the local community. This new clinic, located at 13741 E 116th St. in Fishers, represents an evolution of the retail-based services Community has been providing, with a fresh approach designed to offer a more comprehensive, patient-friendly experience in a convenient retail location.
The new clinic model features two exam rooms, a private bathroom, and a dedicated registration station, all housed within a large, enclosed space. With a spacious footprint of approximately 500 square feet, this clinic offers a more comfortable and private environment for patients, mimicking the feel of a traditional medical practice inside the store.
“The goal is to provide comprehensive care that feels like an extension of your regular doctor’s office,” said Hoy Garvin, Executive Director for On-Demand and Virtual Care at Community Health Network. “Whether you’re dealing with an urgent health issue or need ongoing support for managing a chronic condition, this clinic has a team of advanced practice providers offering a convenient and accessible option in Fishers.”
The clinic offers a full range of services, including routine physicals, wellness visits, and chronic disease management for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, and high cholesterol. This makes it an ideal solution for patients needing follow-up care or managing long-term conditions in between visits with their regular physician. The clinic’s enclosed design and separate waiting and registration areas create a more private and streamlined patient experience. Patients can also choose to conveniently access pharmacy expertise and services in-store.
“This is an exciting step in our ongoing partnership with Walgreens,” said Dr. Patrick McGill, Community Health Network’s Chief Transformation Officer. “We are expanding on the successes we’ve had, lessons learned, and the growing demand for easily accessible, quality care that enhances the patient experience. With more space and better patient flow, our medical team can focus even more on personalized, high-quality care.”
Community operates and provides clinical services at retail health clinics located within Walgreens stores across central Indiana. The flexible design of the Fishers clinic allows for the personalization of healthcare services to best meet the local community's needs. The Community Clinic at Walgreens at the corner of 116th St. and Olio Rd. in Fishers opens to patients Nov. 4, 2024.
