California-based St. Joseph Hoag Health's one-stop "Wellness Corners" offers everything from primary care to fitness training in apartment complexes and employment centers, according to an article on the Hospital & Health Networks website.
St. Joseph started began by building such a clinic for its own employees as a way to bust the excuse that it is hard to step away from work, the article said.
The system has built three of its Wellness Corners in easily accessible locations near employment centers or housing complexes, possibly with more on the way.
The corners are typically about 1,000 square feet with an exam room and telemedicine suite. They're designed to feature a different vibe than your typical hospital, full of sunshine, colorful, and much less "institutional looking," according to a St. Joseph official.
