Did you know that the typical urgent care center in the United States gets 300-400 visits per week? Urgent care first became popular in the 1970s, and now the U.S. urgent care industry is worth $15 billion in revenue. Urgent care is a convenient way to get treatment for minor health conditions, and as a result, there are several benefits of urgent medical care centers.

1. Types of treatment. Urgent care facilities are able to treat a wide variety of non-life-threatening conditions. Sprains, strains, upper respiratory illnesses, lacerations, burns, and concussions, for example, can all be treated at an urgent care facility. Many urgent care centers also prescribe antibiotics and pain medications, so patients can get the treatment and prescriptions they need all in one trip.

2. Professional staff. Urgent medical care centers employ a professional staff. Most urgent care facilities are required to be managed by a licensed physician, and 66% of urgent care centers employ a mix of physicians, physicians assistants, and nurse practitioners. As a result, patients get the medical attention they need from qualified professionals.

3. Short wait times. Patients who visit urgent care experience short wait times. In fact, more than half of patients wait only 15 minutes or less to be seen, and 80% of all visits are completed in 60 minutes or less. This means that patients conveniently get the care they need in a short amount of time.

There are several benefits of medical urgent care centers. Not only do they offer a variety of treatment and a professional staff, but most patients experience short wait times, as well. As a result, urgent care has become a practical way to receive medical care. For more about this, go here.
