As a frugal blogger, I highlight Walgreens on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis talking about awesome deals we can get as we shop at Walgreens. But one of the Walgreens benefits that I don’t talk about enough is the Walgreens Healthcare Clinic. Walgreens Health Clinic saves us time and makes life easier when we are sick or injured because we can stop in and quickly get checked out!

Walgreens Healthcare Clinic offers services like Prevention & Wellness, Treatment and Monitoring & Management.  If you are in need of a routine physical for work, school or summer camp, you can get it done at Walgreens Healthcare Clinic.  If you have a cold or the flu or injure yourself, Walgreens Healthcare Clinic can treat you.  And if you have an ongoing health condition that requires follow-up like diabetes or thyroid disorders, Walgreens Healthcare Clinic can monitor and manage your condition!

Go HERE to find a Walgreens Healthcare Clinic near you.  As you locate your store, it will also show you the WAIT TIME!! I just found the Walgreens Healthcare Clinic Tampa store nearest to me and it said there was NO WAIT!  Love it!

When you are an active family, accidents are bound to happen. Being a runner and being married to a runner who also likes to do challenges like The Spartan Race and Tough Mudder, we are injury prone. I have to say that I haven’t hurt myself while racing. However, there have been a few training runs where I’ve taken a spill and hurt myself. We are also a relatively healthy family. But now that I am a stay at home mom who also works a full-time job from home, I don’t have a lot of time to spend sitting in the waiting room at our doctor’s office when one of us are sick. So heading to a Walgreens Healthcare Clinic saves us a lot of time!

Top 3 Times I Needed a Walgreens Healthcare Clinic

1) Hubby and I were running one morning and we stopped at the clubhouse in our neighborhood to get a drink of water from the outside water fountain. I didn’t realize that the side walk was wet from the sprinklers and as I ran to the fountain, I slipped and fell hard on my knee. It swelled and bruised and looked and felt horrible. My local Walgreens Healthcare Clinic would have been the perfect place to have my knee quickly looked over to confirm that it was okay.

2) I had just returned from a trip with hubby and one day after arriving home, I noticed my throat was really sore. I thought that I was just a little over tired so I ignored it. Three days later my sore throat was even worse and my throat glands were swollen. When I finally went to the doctor (one week after first getting a sore throat), I was diagnosed with strep throat. I should have gotten my throat looked at at my local Walgreens Healthcare Clinic on the first day I got sick!

3) Being adoptive parents, we have had to get tons of routine bloodwork (to insure we are healthy), annual physicals and also shots to prevent us from getting sick when we traveled to Africa. Walgreens Healthcare Clinic gives vaccines like Hep A, Hep B, Tetanus and more and we could have just gone there to get immunized!
