Walgreens, VillageMD to Unveil New Clinic Concept at Five Houston Stores

HOUSTON — A newly formed partnership between Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA) and Chicago-based healthcare provider VillageMD will be opening clinics next to five Walgreens stores in Houston as part of the Illinois-based retailer’s attempt to enter the primary care space. Houston-based Pinpoint Commercial will handle development and construction management for VillageMD. Each clinic will feature multiple exam rooms and education space while also housing multiple primary care doctors. The partnership expects to test the concept in other cities following the rollout of the program in Houston.
