Projected shortage of primary
care physicians by 2020:
We’re helping to transform
primary care.
MinuteClinic® will play a valuable role
under health care reform.
Scheduling an appointment with your doctor is about to become even more challenging than it is today. The
Affordable Care Act will increase the number of Americans with health coverage by approximately 30 million people,
pushing the shortage of primary care physicians to at least 50,000 doctors by 2020. The national epidemic of obesity
and chronic disease, coupled with an aging population, are only compounding the problem. MinuteClinic is poised
to play an important role in this new environment. The clear leader among retail medical clinics, MinuteClinic has
been adding locations and increasing its scope of services to include not only treatment of everyday common
ailments, immunizations, and physicals, but also chronic disease monitoring and other forms of non-acute care.
MinuteClinic has also been forging strategic clinical affiliations with some of the nation’s largest and most prominent
health care systems, creating opportunities for a variety of collaborative programs. During 2012, we added eight
new health systems, bringing our total to 22 affiliations representing nearly 130 hospitals and 60,000 physicians.
