2 Urgent Care is Wellness Care Urgent Care Centers are providing an important solution for meeting the needs of today s patients by providing unscheduled primary care needs. Although these facilities are not full service emergency departments, an Urgent Care Center is equipped to alleviate many of the demands on a typical hospital-based emergency department. Therefore, when care cannot be delayed for a regular visit to the patient s primary care physician, an Urgent Care Center is a excellent alternative. For health care providers, urgent care and ambulatory clinics are often the easiest way to expand the reach of a market while introducing patients to more complete healthcare through the hospital s physician practices with proper follow up and wellness visits.

We involve the community as stakeholders in the planning so their needs are met in amazing ways. These environments are efficient, state-of-the-art, safe, inviting, and convenient. They incorporate the use of natural light, solid surfaces that are easy to maintain, and durable furniture. Parking, building access, and wayfinding are easy. Many times they are located in a medical park setting where patients who come for emergencies can also follow up days later with a physician or a specialist.
