Indiana University Health plans to open 12 urgent care clinics across central Indiana over the next two years, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
The new IU Health clinics will be managed through a partnership with Premier Health, an urgent care company specializing in joint ventures and management services.
“These new urgent care facilities will provide Hoosiers with convenient access to expert treatment while helping them avoid unnecessary costs and trips to the emergency room,” said Ron Stiver, president of Indiana University Health system clinical services.
The trend toward urgent care is growing nationally, with approximately 9,000 clinics in the U.S. seeing more than three million patient visits per week, the article said.
