Wal-mart shoppers in the Ozarks have another option for health care.
A third CoxHealth Clinic opened Monday. This one is in Ozark.
The clinic is for non-emergencies and minor injuries and can be an alternative to urgent care or the ER.
"It provides access to our patients to Cox overall, to all of our clinics and it provides a cheaper alternative to maybe going to the emergency room or urgent care if it's a minor illness," Clinic Director Amy Lea said.
The other two Wal-mart CoxHealth clinics are in Republic and in the S. Campbell Springfield location.
CoxHealth plans to open more clinics later this year.
