Walgreens wants to "develop a system that makes sense for the physician and the patient community," Dr. Rosan said.
Dr. Sussman agreed. "We don’t see ourselves as separate or competitive" with physicians, he said. "We see ourselves as collaborating in an environment where there are fewer primary care physicians."

CLARIFICATION 10/4/2013: the institution with which Walgreens is collaborating was misstated. Walgreens is in collaboration with Johns Hopkins Medicine. Further, a quote from Dr. Jeanne Clark was clarified to suggest collaboration with retail clinics could ensure adequate care and improve access to care for patients.
