Richmond University Medical Center is opening a new healthcare facility in the former Walgreens building in Staten Island, N.Y., according to an article on the Staten Isand Live website.
The new "immediate/walk-in healthcare facility" is planned at the former retal site.
"They're a hybrid model combining the convenience of urgent care facilities and the familiarity of primary care doctors. We also anticipate having several specialists located there," according to a Richmond spokesperson.
The facility is expected to open mid-2018.
