Edward Hospital, Naperville, Ill., will open two clinics inside suburban Chicago Jewel-Osco grocery stores.
The clinics will be open seven days a week and will be located inside the Jewel-Osco pharmacies; they will offer routine treatments and preventive care without an appointment. Family nurse practitioners and physician assistants from Edward Medical Group will provide care at the
selected stores, located in Naperville and Romeoville, Ill. Edward Medical Group employs 45 board-certified family-practice and internal-medicine physicians.
"We're proud to partner with Jewel-Osco and provide high-quality healthcare that's convenient and that fits the busy lifestyles and schedules that many of us have," Edward Health Ventures President Bill Kottmann said in a
news release.
Edward Hospital is a 330-bed facility about 30 miles west of Chicago.
