(Reno, NV) MedAisle Express Care, a walk-up medical clinic, is opening office #1 within the Sak 'n Save Food Store on Oddie and Silverada Blvd. in Reno.

Affordable medical services, including treatment of minor injuries, common illnesses and conditions as well as physical examinations and vaccinations will be available conveniently located in a grocery store.

The clinic is staffed by a nurse practitioner and physician's assistant and sees patients on a walk-in basis. The clinic is open seven days a week, Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturday – Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Most visits last about 15 minutes, and prescriptions or over-the-counter medications can be purchased before leaving the store.

MedAisle Express Care aims to provide a service that many Northern Nevadans have found lacking in our area – namely, affordable health care with convenient hours, excellent customer service and a well-qualified staff.

Medical insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid, is accepted, but not required. MedAisle Express Care is affiliated with St. Mary's Catholic Healthcare West. MedAisle Express offers most services for all patients aged 18 months and older for a nominal fee of $59.

This is the first company to open a retail medical clinic, otherwise known in the industry as Convenient Care Clinics, in Northern Nevada. Several companies in the industry currently operate about 700 such clinics in retail stores such as Wal-Mart, Target and Rite-Aid located in 40 states.

"Sak 'N Save currently has a bank, post office and a pharmacy. Adding a medical clinic to the store is a great move for the convenience of our customers," said Dennis Lundbom, Director of Marketing for Sak 'N Save Food Stores.

"MedAisle Express Care is bringing a convenient and affordable health care solution to the community. We offer low cost quality health care to anyone with or without insurance. The clinic is a walk-in clinic and the visits average 15 to 20 minutes.

Consumers have spoken out against the rise in health care costs, we have developed a solution. We have reduced the costs and made the location convenient by placing our healthcare clinics in grocery stores, a place people visit often," said Wes Granstrom, CEO, MedAisle Express Care.

MedAisle Express Care will be opening additional clinics in grocery stores throughout Northern Nevada in the coming months.
