Airport Medical Clinics: A Thorough Exam in North America
Airlines & Airports VANE Airport Magazine August 23, 2016

A boring layover can be a pain, but getting sick at an airport terminal can be even worse.
With cases like allergic reactions, dehydration or even heart attacks affecting travelers, having medical clinics at the airport might seem like a no-brainer.
Various walk-in medical clinics can be found in some major airports in North America. If you need some medical care on the fly, you may be able to find Emergency Physicians, Occupational Medicine Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and Radiology Technicians during your next layover.
Besides medical care, some offer travel first-aid kits and can bring you up to date on required immunizations that you may have overlooked when planning your trip.
Passengers too ill to continue their trip can often get a note from the clinic to present to their airline so they can stay on the ground. Some offer pharmacy services if you forgot to fill a prescription in your dash to the airport too!
