UHC opens urgent care clinic
University Hospital & Clinics (UHC) in Louisiana, US, officially opened its new urgent care clinic this month in Lafayette
The centre, which began seeing patients on Wednesday 23 October, will serve individuals with Medicaid and other private insurance across the region.
On its website, the urgent care clinic notes that its opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm and Saturday and Sundays, 11am to 7pm. Patients will be seen on a first-come first-served basis.
The new facility aims to reduce the number of patients using UHC’s Emergency Room, which will free up the hospital’s emergency facilities for patients needing true emergency care.
