A CVS MinuteClinic in Thousand Oaks will shut down this month as the health care chain closes 24 clinics in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties.

Often located inside CVS drugstores, the clinics offer treatment from nurse practitioners and physician assistants for common illnesses and minor wounds, also providing vaccinations, lab tests and screenings. The clinics will close by Feb. 25, CVS Health officials said in a news release. A MinuteClinic in a CVS store on Simi Valley's Cochran Street closed late last year.

CVS officials said the shutdowns are the result of a continuing assessment of consumer demands and CVS's health-care strategy.

The Thousand Oaks site, in a CVS store on Agoura Road, was the only remaining MinuteClinic in Ventura County. The CVS stores that house the clinics will remain open.

CVS officials said 11 MinuteClinics in the greater Los Angeles area will also stay open. They offered no details on the number of layoffs but said they plan to find “different opportunities” in the company for some workers.

“Those who are not able to find a new role will be offered severance benefits,” they said.
