Company Description:
The Little Clinic is a healthcare services company that manages walk-in clinics placed inside retail locations. The clinics focus on treating minor illnesses by nurse practitioners and offers health and wellness services to customers 12 months or older at an affordable fee. The Little Clinic opened its doors in 2003 with its first two clinics in Kroger supermarkets in Louisville, Kentucky. The company founder, Stuart Lowenthal, believed a new model was needed to make medical care more accessible, affordable and friendly for busy individuals who juggle jobs and families each day. His concept of placing compact, professionally staffed medical clinics in retail stores provided a welcome solution for time strapped households who seek convenience and affordability in healthcare delivery, and need a complement to family physicians when doctors offices are not open or available. In just over two years of operation, The Little Clinic has treated thousands of patients and achieved the highest satisfaction ratings in numerous patient surveys. In 2005, The Little Clinic's successful model for healthcare delivery attracted additional investment from Solera Capital, LLC, a private equity firm based in New York. The company is now positioned to expand its presence nationally, bringing accessible, affordable health and wellness care to more people through their neighborhood retail stores.
