Walk-In Clinic Opens in Annapolis Shoppers

Anne Arundel Medical Center has announced the opening of a FastCare walk-in clinic inside the Shoppers Food and Pharmacy in Annapolis.

The retail-clinic is the second FastCare location in Maryland and aims to provide patients with basic care for health conditions ranging from allergies to upper respiratory infections.

“The benefits to patients of a retail clinic are many, including expanded hours, walk-in availability and lower cost,” Tori Bayless, president and CEO of Anne Arundel Medical Center said in a news release. “The key difference between FastCare and other retail clinics is the close association with a major health system. With FastCare, patients benefit from connectivity, including access to MyChart, Anne Arundel County Medical Center’s electronic medical record.”

The walk-in clinic, located at 2371 Solomon’s Island Road, is staffed by nurse practitioners, and each visit costs $79, including basic lab tests and can be billed to a patient’s health insurance provider. Following each visit, the FastCare staff will send a report to the patient’s primary care physician.

The Annapolis location of Anne Arundel Medical Center FastCare is open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p;m. on Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on holidays.
