Target will open three new in-store medical clinics in the Triangle.
The clinics will be in Raleigh at the Super Target at Poyner Place and at North Hills and in Cary at 2021 Walnut St.
Construction in store on the clinics will begin in May and they are scheduled to open Aug. 18.
Target already has clinics in Apex, Wake Forest and Durham, and plans to add three more this year, in Charlotte and Concord. The openings are part of national expansion plan that will see the Minnesota company add 14 new locations in five states, bringing its total to 68.
The clinics are staff by a licensed nurse practitioner or a physician assistant and offers vaccinations, treatment for minor illnesses such as strep, bladder infections and pink eye. Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis and the average appointment lasts about 15 minutes. The clinics most accept insurance plans.
