I almost want to apologize to a certain pharmacy after my inhaler fiasco.
I say “almost” because I only apologize when I’m actually sorry, and truth be told that’s not as often as you’d think.
Health care is a huge expense in this country, and a luxury that too many people in this country simply can’t afford.
However, Walgreen’s is doing something to alleviate some of that cost for those of us who are uninsured or recently unemployed, and they deserve to be noticed for it.
From 11:00-3:00, Monday-Friday until the end of 2009, they are offering selected services at their Take Care Health Clinics for free instead of $60 (or more) for those people who are unemployed or uninsured. (Vaccinations and regular checkups aren’t included.)
Obviously this is no substitution for seeing your medical professional, or seeking immediate medical attention for a serious issue. But it’s a good start.
Sacrificing quality health care for you and your family should never be an option. As a health care provider, we see the effects of a struggling economy on the patients and neighborhoods we serve.
That’s why we’ve created the Take Care Recovery Plan to help our current and future patients. It provides access to free health care visits for our patients, and their families, who have lost their jobs and are uninsured.
We hope just knowing you have a place to turn in tough times will help relieve some of the strain of a sudden loss of income. You can’t put a price on peace of mind. The Take Care Recovery Plan promises you won’t have to.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Kudos to Walgreen’s for doing a good thing for a lot of people, however I’m still not apologizing and you can’t make me.
So there.
