MinuteClinic

Pharmacy health kiosk

MinuteClinic is a chain of walk-in medical clinics located inside CVS pharmacies, offering basic health services without appointments.

The name plays on both the speed of service and the small scale of care—routine treatments like flu shots, strep tests, and minor infections rather than complex medical problems.

I just stopped by MinuteClinic for a TB test.
