MINNEAPOLIS, March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Target Clinic® plans to open eight new locations this year to provide guests more access to quality, convenient and affordable health care services. The new clinics will open in Target stores in the Twin Cities, Chicago and Ft. Lauderdale-Davie areas by the end of July.

"Target believes that quality health care services should be accessible and affordable for everyone," said Dr. Josh Riff, Target Medical Director. "By opening new Target Clinic locations, we will provide our guests with even more support and convenience to help them meet the well-being needs of their families."

Target Clinic locations offer services to help keep families healthy throughout the year, including treatment for minor illnesses and injuries, skin treatments, vaccinations, tests and screenings, which are administered by highly trained health care professionals.

"Guests who already shop Target for their prescriptions, healthy foods and workout apparel will also get the basic health services they need in a quality, convenient setting," Dr. Riff added.

All Target Clinic locations are open seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. The first new Target Clinic location opened March 2, with the remainder scheduled to open in July. The new locations are:
