TORONTO - s4story -- Jack Nathan Health®, a privately-owned and operated Canadian company, and proud partner of Walmart Canada, continues the expansion of its revolutionary healthcare model, centered on an accessible, patient-first experience, with the fresh re-opening of its Markham, Ontario clinic within the Walmart store at 500 Copper Creak Drive. On Monday July 15, 2019, doors opened for area residents at the multi-disciplinary clinic, with a fresh look and new layout over 1,350 square-feet, to deliver innovative medical care—maximizing convenience and minimizing wait-time for patients.

Emphasizing the critical nurse relationship as part of the patient-care journey, and directed by a live on-screen physician as the lead medical advisor, the process for primary services at this Markham location is innovative in its design, to support patients in the most effective and efficient way to reduce wait-time. Convenience and time-saving are key benefits to patients as they move through to a state of "live-your-best-life" wellness.

A typical medical appointment at this location is anything but typical, and it achieves the desired patient results in a future-forward way that focuses on moving on to "get-well" status sooner rather than later. It begins with meeting a Registered Nurse, who completes all the preliminary evaluation based on the patient's needs and issues. A medical doctor is then brought online for live interaction in real-time, via computer screen, to diagnose, advise and prescribe, tailored to the specific patient concerns.

"In Markham, we are taking our goal of saving patients time a step further with this future-forward set-up that is focused on getting patients to live their best life, with minimized wait-times, maximized convenience, and quality care," said George Barakat, CEO and Co-founder of Jack Nathan Health® since 2006. "The future is now at Jack Nathan Health."

Open Monday through Saturday, including evenings, the renovated 1,350-sq.-ft Markham Copper Creek location has a boosted service offering that includes:

• Pre-booked and walk-in appointments with registered nurses to support medical  doctors, live on-screen
• Physiotherapy
• Chiropractic services
• Massage therapy
• Shockwave therapy
• Orthotics and custom braces

All of this is available in a well-designed and inviting environment with state-of-the-art technology, including large screens in the wifi-enabled waiting room, with the latest news and help tips running on rotation. Add to it ample free parking, ground-floor access, and all other time-saving advantages of a Walmart location, and it's a veritable one-stop shop.

Think: in-house pharmacy to quickly fill prescriptions; an on-site sporting goods section to purchase the workout items recommended during that physiotherapy appointment; or, getting that grocery shopping list checked off right while waiting for the doctor's appointment. Indeed, families get the health services they need on their schedules, even between shopping errands, with the helpful downtime-turned-uptime option of a personal paddle-pager service to alert them when the doctor is ready for the appointment.

The convenience factor is amplified multi-fold, and all the typical challenges and time-commitment barriers to proactive management of health are no longer an issue.

"One-stop convenient care for an optimal patient experience, is at the core of our approach with every Jack Nathan Health® location we design within Walmart stores," Barakat explained.

Recognizing the reality of today is that everyone's time is limited, and that often one of the barriers to managing health is the perceived disruption to life's regular activities, Jack Nathan Health® is committed to convenient care through its growing network of multi-disciplinary clinics, now at 74 within Walmart locations, across six provinces in Canada, including Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Clinics offer a varied mix of practitioners and services based on location.
