THE LITTLE CLINIC AND THE TOLEDO CLINIC ANNOUNCE NEW CLINICAL COLLABORATION

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 19, 2017) –The Little Clinic and The Toledo Clinic have formed a clinical collaboration to provide consumers with improved access to healthcare services with The Toledo Clinic network of more than 170 primary care and specialty physicians. This new collaboration will support The Little Clinic locations inside five Toledo-area Kroger stores.

 

“This collaboration expands healthcare access and convenience for Toledo Clinic patients who now have the option of seeking care at The Little Clinic, close to where they live, work and go to school,” said Cathleen McKnight, director, patient centered strategies, for The Little Clinic. “Together we can leverage our collective strengths to make a difference in overall health and wellness for the Toledo community.”

 

The arrangement with The Toledo Clinic will strengthen coordination of care for the patient.  Patients of The Toledo Clinic who access care at The Little Clinic can have their records shared with their provider at The Toledo Clinic for treatment purposes.

 

“We are pleased to announce this collaboration. This agreement will improve access to care for our patients and people throughout the region, especially in the evenings and on weekends,” said Henry Naddaf, M.D., a primary care physician at The Toledo Clinic. 

 

The Little Clinic locations are staffed with board-certified nurse practitioners authorized to diagnose, treat, and write prescriptions for many common illnesses such as bronchitis, sinus infections, seasonal allergies and the flu. The clinics also provide a wide selection of additional wellness services such as physicals, health screenings, tobacco cessation and vaccinations, along with care for chronic health issues including diabetes and high blood pressure. The Little Clinic provides care for the entire family from age 12 months and up, seven days a week, including evenings, with no appointment necessary. The Little Clinic locations included in this collaboration are:

·          4925 Jackman Road, Toledo, OH 43613

·          833 W. Alexis Road, Toledo, OH 43612
