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 wanted the patient experience and how they interacted with the building, and how they felt in the building to be one of the most important features of the building . . . . CDH really listened and were able to incorporate a lot for the patient experience.” – Jo Brewer Administrative Director Medical Plaza 400

Community-based Care
“18% of new urgent care facilities will be neighborhood based” — HEALTH FACILITIES / ACHE 2014 CONSTRUCTION SURVEY As a means to expand a health system beyond acute care and in response to healthcare reform legislation, 18 percent of future facility development and future construction is planned for urgent care clinics in neighborhoods. 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.
