A St. Louis agency is studying feasibility of healthcare clinics at MetroLink stations, according to an article on the Progressive Railroading website.
Bi-State Development is looking into the possibility of opening clinics that would offer services such as basic medical care, dental checkups and eye exams.
Late last year, the Bi-State Development Research Institute received a $41,900 grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health to study the feasibility of opening healthcare clinics at some MetroLink train stations.
The research team is considering potential sites and whether services would entail a "bricks-and-mortar" facility or space for a mobile unit.
