Center City Philadelphia's first convenient-care clinic, a joint project of the Drexel University School of Medicine and Drexel College of Nursing and Health Professions, has opened at the Shops at Liberty Place, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Howard Miller, chief executive officer of the medical school's practice plan or group medical practice, had three goals when he conceived the clinic: Give people who work or visit downtown easy access to routine medical care, raise Drexel's visibility, and increase referrals to Drexel's doctors.
"We've not been as visible in the city as we would like," Miller said of Drexel's 274 doctors. "I don't have Penn's money to advertise."
