Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care Opens First Center in Mint Hill, North Carolina

New, state-of-the-art urgent care for the Mint Hill community

 

Mint Hill, N.C., Jan. 27, 2020 – Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care has opened a new urgent care center in Mint Hill, North Carolina, at 11300 Cresthill Drive, right off Matthews-Mint Hill Rd., next to Novant Health Mint Hill Family Medicine and across from the Mint Hill Town Hall. The new urgent care center will provide the community with effortless access to convenient, high quality healthcare services, including on-site lab and X-ray capabilities.

 

“The Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care experience begins before even setting foot in our centers,” said Kirsten P. Jones, North Carolina market president of GoHealth Urgent Care. “We’re excited that the Mint Hill community can experience the convenience of our digital tools, including online and mobile check-in, real-time wait clocks and online registration, that are designed to enhance the remarkable care that patients have come to expect from Novant Health.”

 

The new, state-of-the-art urgent care center puts patients first with an open floor plan that allows patients to easily interact with the clinical staff and larger treatment and exam rooms to accommodate patients' families and friends. Patients will also benefit from integrated electronic medical records and the ability to choose when they want to be seen at www.gohealthuc.com/nc. They can also further minimize their wait times by registering online, which will confirm their insurance eligibility and any co-pay amounts before they arrive.

 

The Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care network currently has 10 centers in Charlotte and 17 overall in North Carolina, with more centers opening this year.

 

“Novant Health continues to create a coordinated health system to help ensure that our patients get the right care, at the right time, and at the right cost,“ said Joy Greear, president and chief operating officer of Novant Health Mint Hill Medical Center. “Having access to a comprehensive urgent care center allows the Mint Hill community to be treated for non-life threatening medical issues when a primary care provider is not available as an alternative to a more costly emergency department visit.”

 

All Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care centers offer extended hours and are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, including holidays. For more information, please visit: www.gohealthuc.com/nc.

ChristianaCare and GoHealth Urgent Care announce new partnership to develop largest urgent care network in Delaware

 

New state-wide partnership will bring unparalleled patient experiences to Delaware and surrounding communities

Wilmington, DE, Jan. 10, 2020 – ChristianaCare, one of the most dynamic health systems in the mid-Atlantic region, and GoHealth Urgent Care, one of the nation’s fastest-growing urgent care companies, today announced that they have entered into a new partnership to operate ChristianaCare’s five medical aid units and establish a network of new urgent care centers throughout Delaware and the surrounding areas.

ChristianaCare-GoHealth Urgent Care will become the preferred provider of urgent care services in Delaware and coordinate with ChristianaCare’s robust primary and specialty care services. The partnership combines ChristianaCare’s long-standing reputation for high-quality, integrated ambulatory health services and GoHealth Urgent Care’s industry-leading patient satisfaction ratings, consumer-focused technology and award-winning urgent care center design.

“This partnership will advance our ability to make a positive impact on the health of every person in every community we serve by increasing access to high-quality, affordable urgent care services,” said Janice E. Nevin, M.D., MPH, ChristianaCare’s president and CEO. “Partnering with GoHealth Urgent Care and leveraging its unique model, expertise and consumer focus enables us to offer greater convenience and provide the right care, at the right place and right time in the most cost-appropriate setting.”

ChristianaCare-GoHealth Urgent Care will convert ChristianaCare’s five existing medical aid units – in Newark, Glasgow, Middletown and Smyrna – to GoHealth Urgent Care’s integrated operating model and design and will build a number of additional new urgent care centers throughout Delaware and surrounding areas over the next several years.

“We are thrilled to partner with ChristianaCare to deliver seamless, personalized and deeply connected care to Delaware and surrounding communities,” said Todd Latz, CEO of GoHealth Urgent Care. “We will set a new standard for on-demand care in the region, deliver value to consumers, employers and payors, and collaboratively champion population health initiatives and value-based care.”

The ChristianaCare-GoHealth Urgent Care centers will provide a more accessible, convenient and comfortable alternative to costlier, more time-consuming emergency department visits for everyday illnesses and non-life-threatening injuries, such as colds, flu, fever, asthma, allergies, emphysema, minor skin lacerations, cuts, burns, urinary tract infections, sports injuries, fractures, sprains and strains. The centers will have on-site laboratory and X-ray services.

ChristianaCare-GoHealth Urgent Care patients will be able to walk in or go online to check wait times, pre-register and reserve their place in line, ensuring that high-quality clinical providers will see them even more quickly. Patient visits are expected to average less than an hour.
