You will soon be able to seek medical attention inside the doors of the Chemong Road Walmart location in Peterborough.

While some details — including an opening date and what services will be provided — have yet to be released, it will make the Peterborough store one of more than 75 Walmart locations across Canada to include a Jack Nathan Health medical clinic onsite.

The Jack Nathan website states that the clinics are open to walk-in patients during clinic hours. "If you are unable to see your family doctor in a timely manner, you are welcome to seek care at any Jack Nathan Health Medical clinic near you," the site states. "Unlike most family practices, in addition to seeing rostered patients for scheduled appointments, Jack Nathan Health clinics are also open to walk-in patients during clinic hours."

This Week reached out multiple times to the company's headquarters for further details and is awaiting a response. Here's what we know so far:
