Shoppers adds more medical clinics to drug stores

August 18, 2021


Jeff LegerBRAMPTON, Ont. – Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. will expand its managed medical clinics to more cities across Ontario over the next year. Owned and operated by Shoppers Drug Mart, the Health Clinic by Shoppers™ is a primary-care and family practice clinic, providing patients with convenient, one-stop access to medical services and trusted advice.

Following the opening of the first four clinics in Toronto and Whitby, the company has plans for an additional three locations, two in Ottawa and one in Kingston. Hosting a suite of family medicine services, the clinics aim to make healthcare more accessible for patients with extended operating hours and increased technology, such as online appointment booking and virtual care options through Medeo solutions and electronic health records via the AccuroEMR platform.

“We know Canadians want and need more from their primary care. The world changed quickly and dramatically over the last year, highlighting the need for more accessible healthcare options for patients – including extended hours and more convenient locations for in-person services, and virtual care services for all patients including those who don’t currently have a family physician,” says Jeff Leger (pictured), president, Shoppers Drug Mart.

“Since May 2020, our Toronto locations have been meeting those needs, through more than 20,000 patient visits. Bringing the Health Clinic to new markets will allow us to make healthcare more accessible for more Ontarians.”

Shoppers Drug Mart is currently hiring physician and staff for locations in Toronto, Whitby, Ottawa and Kingston. For more information, please visit www1.shoppersdrugmart.ca or email thehealthclinic@shoppersdrugmart.ca.
