The Little Clinic expands into Kansas

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Little Clinic, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kroger, has expanded into Kansas, marking the company's 10th state to operate retail clinics.



The clinic operator expanded its operational footprint with Wednesday’s opening of its first clinic inside Dillons in Derby. With Wednesday's opening, the company now operates 163 clinics. Five additional locations are scheduled to open in the Wichita area this summer.



“Convenience is the primary reason why our patients choose to utilize the clinic for non-emergency health issues,” stated Halie Guinn, regional clinical director, The Little Clinic. “From vaccinations and sports physicals to health screenings and minor injury care, The Little Clinic helps patients be seen quickly, receive care and get back to their busy lives. We make healthcare fit into their schedules because we don’t require appointments and we are open seven days a week. The convenience is there and patients respond to it. We are very excited to open the clinics and start serving these communities.”

This partnership with The Little Clinic is one more way Dillons makes it easy for customers to have convenient, quality care.”
