Fla. Urgent Care Centers Receive UCAOA Certification

04/05/2010

BRADENTON, Fla.—Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch Urgent Care Centers, located in Bradenton, have received the Certified Urgent Care designation which distinguishes it as a true urgent care center, according to the Urgent Care Association of America. The clinics provide patients with walk-in, extended-hour medical attention with licensed providers for a large scope of medical conditions and have met all of UCAOA’s established criteria.

The health care environment is changing and it is becoming more and more important for patients to understand their treatment options. Urgent care is a convenient and viable option for medical conditions that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment with a primary care physician. Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch accept unscheduled, walk-in patients during all hours of operation.

When a medical condition cannot be handled by a patient’s regular doctor – such as unexpected cuts, burns, sprains or fractures that do not require a visit to the emergency department, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch Urgent Care Centers are equipped with x-ray, laboratory services and a licensed provider is always available to perform minor procedures like splinting and suturing.

Urgent care fills the gap between primary care and hospital emergency rooms, offering increased convenience and cost savings. With its certification Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch Urgent Care and the Urgent Care Association of America demonstrate their commitment toward providing patients with access to appropriate levels of care.

Certified Urgent Care
