Target and Kaiser Permanente Bring Innovation, Primary Care to Target Clinics

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Target Corporation and Kaiser Permanente are teaming up to launch four Target Clinics in Southern California in November and December. For the first time at Target, guests will have access to a wide array of primary healthcare services, as well as expanded services that are not typically available in Target Clinics or other retail clinics. Expanded health services include pediatric and adolescent care, well-woman care, family planning and management of chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Through this collaboration, Kaiser Permanente will provide care to Kaiser Permanente members and non-members.

Kaiser Permanente will staff the new clinics with licensed nurse practitioners, licensed vocational nurses, and will have physicians available by telemedicine consultations, giving local Target guests access to Kaiser Permanente’s high-quality affordable healthcare services. The clinics will be located within Target stores and will provide walk-in care, along with the convenience of the Target Pharmacy.

Uniting two respected brands, the new Target Clinics will offer both Kaiser Permanente’s technology-advanced care delivery system and Target’s focus on an exceptional guest experience in a familiar, convenient and friendly setting. The four Target Clinics will accept cash or credit, as well as a broad range of health insurance plans — Target guests can stop by for a flu shot or physical, all during a weekly trip for groceries.

Target Clinic currently has 79 locations in seven states. In an effort to seamlessly integrate affordable, convenient healthcare into the lives of all Target guests and community members, in the coming months, the new Target Clinics are also in the process of contracting with Medicare, MediCal and with Blue Shield of California and other leading health insurance plans in the area for certain services. This access will provide greater, more affordable access to the world-class medical care that Kaiser Permanente delivers.

Kaiser Permanente-staffed clinics at Target locations open Nov. 17 in Vista, San Diego and Fontana, and a fourth clinic in West Fullerton will open on Dec. 6.
