Households that Received Medical Services in an Urgent Care Facility

Census Tract: 06111005700
Measurement Period: 2023
This indicator shows the percentage of households with at least one person who received medical services in an urgent care facility in the past 3 years. This excludes services received in the emergency room.

Why is this important?

Many Americans today report that they have been unable to see their primary physician because there is no available time to create appointments. Today, urgent care centers are a growing force in the healthcare industry of the United States. These centers are specifically designed for providing services to patients with medical conditions that are not life-threatening, but still require immediate attention.

Thanks to the increased use of urgent care, patients with non-emergency health needs can be seen faster than in emergency department. Not only may these services help ease overcrowded emergency departments, but they can also improve community health and build care referrals. Key benefits of urgent care center are: convenience, appropriate level of care, affordability, and accessibility.
