Walgreens Free Clinics!

It's great to see in an economy like this someone stepping up to the plate to really give to those that need it. Walgreens is offering free clinics to the unemployed and uninsured through the end of 2009.

Walgreens said patients who lose their job and health insurance after March 31 will be able to get free treatment at its in-store Take Care clinics for respiratory problems, allergies, infections and skin conditions, among other ailments. Typically those treatments cost $59 or more for patients with no insurance. (Though patients will still pay for prescriptions.)

Free services will be offered only from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Walgreens said it will not offer free checkups, vaccinations or other injections because it is focusing on providing services patients might otherwise get at an urgent-care center or even an emergency room.

Thanks common sense with money and Walgreens.
