HCA Midwest Health welcomes second Olathe CareNow® Urgent Care

Olathe, KS — CareNow® Urgent Care announced the opening of a second clinic in Olathe. The clinic in North Olathe is at 11963 S. Black Bob Road. Part of HCA Healthcare, one of the nation’s largest providers of healthcare services, CareNow operates more than 150 urgent care locations across the country. CareNow is also a part of HCA Midwest Health, the Kansas City area’s largest healthcare provider.

“Olathe continues to experience significant growth, and we are pleased to meet the area’s growing healthcare demands,” said Overland Park Regional Medical Center CEO Matt Sogard. “The addition of the second urgent care clinic in Olathe will provide families with even greater access to efficient healthcare services closer to where they live, work and play.”

The first Olathe CareNow, which opened in April 2021, is located at 14721 W. 151st Street.

“The addition of a second urgent care clinic in Olathe complements our already robust healthcare network in this community, which also includes a Freestanding Emergency Room and physician clinics, and helps us provide more convenient access to high-quality, compassionate healthcare for Olathe patients,” said HCA Midwest Health President Keith Zimmerman.

The Freestanding Emergency Room, which opened in April 2015, is located at 13505 S. Alden Street.

CareNow Urgent Care clinics offer quick care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, such as sprains and strains, minor burns, coughs, sore throats and flu-like symptoms — as well as physicals, vaccinations, general diagnostics and check-ups. The clinics also provide occupational medicine services to local employers, including examinations and treatment of injured workers in worker’s compensation cases, pre-employment screenings and drug tests. CareNow also provides flu shots just in time for the flu season.

“We are grateful for the CareNow support from patients, their referring physicians and the business community in Olathe, which makes this grand opening even more rewarding,” said CareNow Urgent Care Medical Director Mary Devers, MD. “Like our 13 CareNow Urgent Care locations throughout the region, the North Olathe clinic provides expanded parking increased space and allows CareNow physicians and staff to provide an enhanced patient experience. CareNow treats non-emergent medical problems that can develop unexpectedly and require immediate attention, complementing services provided by primary care physicians and hospital emergency rooms. Whether it’s a minor injury or an illness, patients want immediate, convenient care, and we designed the clinic with this in mind.”

CareNow services include family medicine, on-site lab work and X-rays, occupational medicine, physical exams, flu shots, sports physicals and COVID testing. Walk-ins are welcome, and patients can save time by using Web Check-In® at CareNow.com to wait at home or anywhere until it’s time to see their provider.

In addition to the two Olathe CareNow Urgent Cares, other locations in the Kansas City area include Belton, Blue Springs, Independence, Lee’s Summit, Lenexa, Overland Park North on Antioch Road, Overland Park in Corbin Park, Prairie Village, Raytown, and State Line Road.
