Target Expands Partnership With Kaiser Permanente, Plans 31 More Health Care Clinics

Target and Kaiser Permanente, an integrated health care provider, are expanding their partnership with the launch of 31 additional Kaiser Permanente-staffed retail clinics in Target stores across Southern California. The sites will offer services such as pediatric care and management of chronic health conditions.

The two companies began their partnership with a pilot test in 2014, with Kaiser employees staffing four retail clinics located in San Diego (Mission Valley), Vista, Fontana and West Fullerton, Calif. Four more Kaiser Permanente-staffed Target Clinics, in San Diego (Chula Vista, Santee), Orange County (North Irvine) and Riverside (Hemet) will open this November, with additional clinics set to open in existing Southern California stores over the next three years.

The expanding partnership brings health care to consumers in an environment away from hospitals, emergency rooms and primary care physicians’ offices, which are often overcrowded and provide long wait times.

The clinics offer Target guests a broad array of services including: pediatric care; women’s health care; monitoring and care for chronic conditions including diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure; basic dermatology services; and treatment for minor illnesses including strep throat, vaccinations, sinus pain, earaches, asthma, and cold and flu.

MinuteClinic, the retail medical clinic of CVS Health, provides administrative services to support the four existing Target clinics. MinuteClinic will provide the same services to the new Target Clinics when they open to patients. After a clinic visit, eligible Kaiser Permanente members will be able to receive a one-time medication fill at the CVS Pharmacy co-located with the Target Clinic.
