Walgreens and Walmart plan to open at least 13 neighborhood clinics in Northeast Florida that offer medical services, reports the Jacksonville Daily Record.

Walgreens plans to add six Village Medical clinics in its area stores starting this year.
The Deerfield, Illinois-based chain plans to invest $1 billion in Village Medical’s parent company, VillageMD, over the next three years.
