WOONSOCKET, R.I. —Underscoring the value of the nurse practitioner in the convenient care industry, CVS Caremark’s MinuteClinic has named Vermont state commissioner Paulette Thabault as its new chief nurse practitioner officer.

In this role, which is a new position at MinuteClinic, Thabault will provide leadership to clinicians who staff MinuteClinic health centers and will help lead MinuteClinic’s clinical service excellence.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. With camp season, team practices and summer sports leagues right around the corner, administrators soon will be asking for completed physical exam forms before a child or teen is able to participate, so MinuteClinic is offering exams at a special rate through Sept. 19.

Through Sept. 19, exams will be priced at $35. Additional charges may apply for more thorough exam requirements, such as urinalysis. Insurance is not accepted for physical exams. Requirements for physicals vary by state, and services are not available in Massachusetts.
