Questions:

Does UCA own urgent care centers?

Though UCA fully expects to advance to the ownership level with physician partners that see fit to involve us as a preferred management solution, it is currently pursuing its mission to be a synergizing force for physicians in operating their centers that they or their partners own. UCA brings together the best available resources in the marketplace to deliver virtually every possible service to make the owners of urgent care centers the most successful. UCA management recognizes that individual operators do not necessarily have the time to spend on bringing these resources to the degree that it can and therefore it fills a void no other company does.
