## Resource

Lucas and Luna explore how retail pharmacy chains like CVS and Walgreens are transforming primary care through in-store clinics and virtual health services. They discuss the economics behind MinuteClinic and VillageMD, the impact on traditional doctor visits, and whether this model improves access or just shifts costs. With 10,000 retail clinic locations expected by 2027, they break down what this means for patients and the healthcare system. #RetailClinics #PrimaryCare #CVS #Walgreens #MinuteClinic #VillageMD #Telehealth #HealthAccess #HealthcareCosts #BusinessModel #Disruption #DigitalHealth #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
