Staying Healthy on the Road with MinuteClinic

MinuteClinic information

Before hitting the road this summer, prepare yourself for medical emergencies. Always make sure to receive the vaccinations you need before traveling abroad. If you have chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or heart disease, ask your doctor to write a list of your medications and dosages in case of emergencies. In addition, look into the medical facilities in the area you are visiting so that you will know where to go if there is an emergency.

MinuteClinic is a great option for those traveling for business or pleasure. There are approximately 500 locations across 26 states. To ensure continuity of care, MinuteClinic can send, upon request, a summary copy of the patient's visit to their primary care physician.
