Boston needs 24-hour clinics. With tight and demanding work schedules and tossing in children.
People tend to let their healthcare go by the wayside. I propose 24-hour clinics that would provide regular appointments.
Check-ups, dental and eye care. People with children may have an easier time finding a babysitter when their children are in bed for the night.
The care would be non-emergency care. Routine appointments and check-ups.
The availability of 24-hour medical care could be great to cut down on work callouts and loss of pay.
The clinics would be staffed by healthcare workers, clinicians, and social workers.
Boston is blessed with the greatest teaching hospitals in the world. We will work with those amazing hospitals to provide such an urgently needed and necessary service.
The 24-hour clinics could cut down on pressure on emergency rooms in Boston.
A noble idea, but the issue with that is going to be finding & staffing as well as what to pay the workers.. Perhaps staff it/them with medical & nursing students, supervised by established doctors & RNs..
