The Little Clinic provides healthcare services within retail settings, diagnosing and treating minor illnesses for patients 12 months and older, staffed by board-certified family nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Founded in 2003 with its first locations in Louisville, Kentucky, the model aimed to improve access and affordability for busy families and to complement primary care outside typical office hours. The clinics are open daily with no appointment necessary, and the company is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since inception, it has expanded to operate more than 226 clinics in Kroger and other banners across multiple states, including Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Virginia, Kansas, and Colorado. The organization holds accreditation from The Joint Commission, indicating adherence to national standards for patient safety and quality improvement. The Kroger Co. acquired The Little Clinic in 2010, integrating its retail-based care model within its store network.
