Faced with chronically overcrowded emergency rooms (often filled with patients unable to pay), hospitals across the country are partnering with supermarkets, shopping malls, and drugstores to open walk-in clinics. Patients get access to physicians, as well as “back-up” hospital services (like lab testing). And they have to pay before being seen – either with cash or insurance.

Hospitals like the arrangement. Not only do they cut down on emergency room visits and get paid up front, they establish relationships with patients that can lead to future (and more lucrative) business.

Patients like it because they can get a side salad with their flu shot.

Testimonials

  • Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head.

    “Just had to say that Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head about the media and so called ‘journalism’ in his article ‘How to Make More Money During a Recession.’

    “Absolutely brilliant and spot on. They have to fill so many newspaper/magazine pages and so much TV airtime that any ‘news’ item is completely overexposed and hyped up. (Swine flu is a good example.) It also seems that many journalists really don’t know much about the subjects they are writing about. Fortunately, the same cannot be said about Early to Rise.

    “Keep up the good work.”
