Walgreens has opened more than 300 Take Care Clinics across the country where the jobless and uninsured and their dependents can get free basic health care.

Take Care Clinics will treat common family illnesses such as colds, cough, flu, upper respiratory conditions and minor skin conditions for patients 18 months or older. If you do have insurance, you are responsible for your co-pay.
