CareNow® centers earn reaccreditation from the urgent care association
Overland Park, Kan. — HCA Midwest Health announced today that its 15 CareNow® urgent care clinics across Kansas City have been reaccredited through the Urgent Care Association (UCA), recognizing a commitment to delivering the highest quality care and service to patients. CareNow's clinics provide patients with walk-in, extended-hour medical attention with licensed providers for a large scope of medical conditions and meet all of the Urgent Care Association's established standards and criteria for quality patient care, safety and scope of services.
CareNow is part of the less than 20% of urgent care centers in the country that receive the UCA accreditation. This reaccreditation reflects CareNow's deep dedication to patients in the communities it serves.
Urgent care is a convenient and affordable option for medical conditions that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment with a primary care physician. CareNow accepts 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 room – CareNow's urgent care clinics are equipped with X-ray, laboratory services and licensed providers available to perform minor procedures like suturing.
Urgent care fills the gap between primary care and hospital emergency rooms, offering increased convenience and accessibility for the whole family.
"Earning this accreditation is a testament to CareNow's dedication to delivering the highest quality of compassionate care and service to our patients," said CareNow Urgent Care Medical Director Mary Devers, MD. "Our 15 urgent care locations are vital healthcare assets, providing immediate attention for non-emergent medical concerns and complementing the services of primary care physicians and hospital emergency rooms, ensuring patients receive the timely and convenient care they need. Whether treating a minor injury or sudden illness, we strive to offer accessible, patient-centered care that supports individuals and the broader healthcare system."
CareNow Urgent Care locations in the Kansas City area include Belton, Blue Springs, Grandview, on U.S. 71 Highway, Independence on E. 39th, Independence West, Lee's Summit, Lee's Summit South on SW Market Street, Lenexa, Olathe on W. 151st, North Olathe, Overland Park North on Antioch Road, Overland Park in Corbin Park, Prairie Village, Raytown, and State Line Road.
