Preventive medicine meets Kinko’s

April 3, 2008

They may be onto something here:

The store doesn’t sell vitamins or medication but markets preventive health services like screenings that may tell a 33-year-old man he has a 17 percent chance of a heart attack over 30 years. It sells annual checkups, weight management, vaccinations and travel immunizations. Customers can buy programs that give them 24-hour, seven-day-a-week access to a doctor and help in compiling electronic medical records.

Wow, this truly is a first! A physician that has opened up a retail ‘wellness’ location and is practicing nursing and some think its the greatest thing since sliced bread!
