Virtual Care replaces Retail Clinics
Throughout the pandemic, patients and clinicians used virtual care to stay safe and provide effective care. Sick visits and minor injuries can and are now conveniently addressed through virtual visits. As we continue to look forward, we recognized that the retail care model has been replaced by virtual care. Therefore, effective July 6, MetroHealth is no longer operating retail clinics at Discount Drug Mart locations.
