Grab some milk, see your doc

Growth in the retail health clinic market slowed in 2008 and dipped to a negative 5 percent in the first five months of 2009, according to a new report by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.
Locally based company The Little Clinic, which operates clinics in Kroger grocery stores, now has 9 percent market share and 103 clinics, according to the report — making it the third-largest industry player behind mammoths MinuteClinic (owned by CVS) and Take Care (owned by Walgreen’s).

Despite the current setback, Deloitte expects the once-booming industry will experience a second wave of growth between 2010 and 2014.
