Urgent care centers are a growing business and it’s easy to see why. Patients love the convenience of having medical care that is easy, convenient, and close to home.

There were 7,100 urgent care centers in the U.S. serving  160 million patients  per year in 2018. Annual growth for these health care centers has been a healthy 5.3 percent per year since 2015, according to IBIS World.

How to Build A Successful Urgent Care Center

Like any business, the first thing to think about when you start planning to open an urgent care center is finding a good location. Do some research to narrow down your location to a community that doesn’t already have an urgent care center. Next, find a central location within your chosen town that’s convenient, easy to find, and will easily get noticed. That’s crucial for your urgent care facility to get  that all-important walk-in traffic. The best location is typically one in a shopping center that is close to a highway.

Next, you’ll want to find the right building – one that is large enough to convert into an urgent care center that has plenty of space for a waiting room, exam rooms, doctor’s offices, and storage space. You’ll also want to choose a building with plenty of parking, two entrances, and easy access for handicapped and elderly patients.

You’ll also need to do some research into state and local regulations for urgent care centers. Many states, including New York, require a licensed physician to own urgent care centers, so plan accordingly. Talk to your local zoning board as well to make sure the regulations allow urgent care centers at your chosen location.

Urgent Care Center Design & Construction

Now that you’ve chosen your location, you’ll want to start thinking about designing and constructing a clean, welcoming, attractive, and affordable urgent care center for your patients. The best strategy, even before you involve your architect, is to involve a qualified contractor, who is experienced in building urgent care centers, like Ben’s General Contracting, before you even begin.

• A central nursing area
• Four or five consulting rooms for each health care provider
• A secure medical records area
• An attractive break room
• A doctor’s office
• Rest rooms in the waiting room, for staff, for clinical use, and for drug testing
