GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. — Dollar General announced that it is piloting mobile clinics at three Tennessee stores in partnership with mobile health provider DocGo.
The clinics, which are hosted in vans in store parking lots, offer basic, preventative and urgent care services, along with lab testing. Visits are available for walk-ins and by appointment.
The pilot could expand to additional stores, depending on customer response, as Dollar General continues to grow its healthcare products and services targeted at rural communities.
“We’re excited to pilot new mobile health clinics with services provided by DocGo On-Demand to provide services including annual physicals, acute illness, urgent care needs, vaccinations and lab testing,” said Dr. Albert Wu, Dollar General’s chief medical officer, in the media release. “These clinics demonstrate our ability and desire to work with our customers to bring affordable health and wellness closer to home while equally establishing Dollar General as a trusted partner where customers can access health services.”
Its services, provided by DocGo On-Demand, are available Sundays and Monday at the Dollar General on Highway 48 in Clarksville; on Wednesdays and Thursdays at the store on Ashland City Road in Clarksville; and on Fridays and Saturdays at the store on Highway 48 in Cumberland Furnace.
The clinic is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day. Dollar General and DocGo plan to evaluate customer response and decide whether to expand the program, according to a media release.
