A recent survey by the Business Group on Health found that 58 percent of 122 large employers surveyed  said they are operating an on-site clinic, according to an article on the Fierce Healthcare article.

Another 3 percent said their first clinic will open next year. Eleven percent said they are considering opening a clinic in 2022 or 2023.
