UCA is constantly refining service line offerings given the shifting landscape of the American healthcare system.
Given its fast growth, Urgent is destined to be a major component of the United States healthcare system largely due to the demand of the consumers for improved access and a consistent level of service.
Though only estimates, the total number of urgent care centers nationally, has grown to over 12,000 and some esitmates are as high as 15,000. The concept of urgent care takes different forms under different models of ownership. Most centers are operated by independent physicians and physician groups. Some are owned and operated by hospitals and others have developed in the form of retail clinics, sponsored by retail distributers and stores traditionally identified as "drug stores".
UCA sees opportunity to network with virtually all of these components of this growing sector of healthcare as a provider of infrastructure that ties them together in a unique way, while maintaining the independence and purpose of each.
UCA's model is unique to the industry and makes it the likely synergizing force capable of uniting all of these vital components in a way that benefits the patients that all serve.
By way of this introduction, UCA has the opportunity and the plan to provide additional service lines like no other company.
