Shoppers Drug Mart says it plans to open 44 new pharmacy care clinics in Alberta this year.

The new locations will bring the retailer’s total number of clinics in the province to 103 by the end of 2024.

Shoppers Drug Mart opened its first pharmacy care clinic in Lethbridge, Alta., in June 2022.

Pharmacists at the clinics can assess and prescribe treatments for a wide range of minor illnesses.

The retailer says the new locations will include clinics in Okotoks, Sherwood Park, Calgary, Edmonton, Stony Plain and Spruce Grove.
