About CareWorks Convenient Healthcare Services

CareWorks is quick, convenient, quality healthcare for people on the go who find it hard to fit routine tests and treatment into their busy schedules. CareWorks Convenient Healthcare in-store clinics are open days, evenings and weekends; no appointment is necessary, and there’s little or no waiting. For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions.

CareWorks’ certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants treat adults and children one year and older for common illnesses, from allergies to strep throat to skin rashes and more. They also do camp, sports and other physicals, give vaccinations, and provide a variety of lab tests and screenings, including blood pressure, cholesterol, TB, strep and others. There’s also a well check package available. For a complete listing, see Services.

CareWorks is not a substitute for your family doctor. And it is not designed for true emergencies or serious medical conditions. Remember, in a true medical emergency, call 911.

How it works:

  • If the provider is with a patient when you arrive, sign in at the desk and take a pager. You can shop while you wait. Our provider will page you when they are done with the previous patient.

  • Once it is your turn, you will be escorted into a private, comfortable treatment area where conversation and care are kept strictly confidential.

  • The visit should take about 15 - 20 minutes per person.

  • If you get a prescription, you can have it filled at the in-store pharmacy or at any drug store you choose.

  • If you choose, your family physician will be notified after your visit in case any follow-up care is needed.
