Mandy del Valle, a nurse practitioner, sees more than two dozen people a week in an exam room in southeastern Lawrence, where she needn’t bother with a waiting room.
Her patients simply walk in off the work floor.
“They don’t even need to clock out,” said del Valle, who contracts to provide health care at Amarr Garage Doors, in East Hills Business Park. “They seem to really like it, too.”
Moreover, it doesn’t cost them a cent.
Amarr officials like the arrangement so much that they’re helping tout the program to other area employers, many of whom are looking for ways to improve employee health, increase company efficiency and — not least of all — ease financial pains for employer and employees alike.

Tucked into a cluster of buildings near an overgrown field in Tunica County is a fully staffed clinic that provides basic health care to employees of Harrah’s Entertainment Inc. and their families.
The casino operator’s decision to run a company clinic illustrates a national trend.
