Healthcare just a little quicker in the Valley.
CVS has opened a MinuteClinic inside of the Terre Haute store at 6th and Margaret.
It's run by board-certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who can diagnose, treat and write prescriptions for common illnesses.
Camp, sport and college physicals are also available, in addition to many vaccinations.
Officials say it's an affordable way to get care - your watch.
"I think it's a great option for family especially. And for everybody, because we all know we called trying to get in...and primary care doctors are really busy. They see a lot of thing and a lot of patients, and you're sick now, not two weeks from now," said Amy Lambert, a nurse practitioner with MinuteClinic.
The Minute Clinic is open seven days a week, and there's no appointment necessary. most health insurance is accepted. For patients paying cash or credit, treatment prices are posted at each medical center. The cost for most treatment starts at $79.
Hours are:
Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
