Norton Healthcare to take over 8 clinics in Louisville-area Walgreens stores
Eight Walgreens stores in and around Louisville, Kentucky, will be getting retail clinics operated by locally based Norton Health. The nonprofit healthcare organization and Walgreens announced Wednesday that it would operate and provide clinical services at the locations, which include three in southern Indiana and five in Louisville.
The clinics, which already exist, will transition to Norton Healthcare in early 2019, the companies said, noting that they would then be named Norton Prompt Care at Walgreens. Until then, Walgreens will continue to manage the clinics, the company said.
“Norton Prompt Care at Walgreens expands on our goal of offering quality healthcare to patients, providing multiple convenient locations, and further advancing healthcare centered around the consumer,” said Steven Hester, division president provider operations and system chief medical officer.
Alongside the retail clinic agreement, Walgreens said it and Norton Healthcare would collaborate to make sure Norton Healthcare employees and patients are able to benefit from Walgreens’ pharmacy and services.
“Today’s announcement further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to collaborating with others in the healthcare community, such as Norton Healthcare, to improve access, while also helping to ensure a true continuum of care with our pharmacists as a part of patients’ care teams,” said Pat Carroll, Walgreens chief medical officer and group vice president, healthcare services and clinical programs.
