NextCare Immediate Care Clinic Continues to Supersede Urgent Care Provider Competitors

Mesa, Ariz.(PRLEAP) September 15, 2006– NextCare (http://www.nextcare.com/), a recognized and trusted urgent care provider across the nation, continues to set the standard for quality urgent care services in Arizona, Colorado and North Carolina. Since 1993, immediate care clinic NextCare has been providing timely, service-driven healthcare to families and individuals of all ages. With 14 convenient locations available throughout Arizona, NextCare immediate care clinics provide the utmost in care and compassion, unsurpassed by any other Arizona walk in care clinic. With a 75% compound annual growth rate over the past five years, NextCare has grown to offer the same quality care and compassion at its three Colorado clinics and nine additional clinics in North Carolina.

As different varieties of immediate care clinics are opening throughout the country, a leading urgent care provider NextCare (http://www.nextcare.com/) remains the best place to receive quality care. Many of the new mini clinics, located in grocery stores for example, have limited hours throughout the week and weekends. Immediate care clinic NextCare is open Monday through Friday 8:00am – 8:00pm and Saturday and Sunday 8:00am – 4:00pm in Arizona and Colorado, and is open Monday through Saturday 8:00am – 8:00pm and Sunday 11:00am – 5:00pm in North Carolina. While these new competing mini clinics only treat patients over one year of age, NextCare treats babies less than one year as well as children and adults of all ages. NextCare also follows up with reports to primary care physicians, and can conduct X-rays and dispense prescriptions on-site as opposed to referring patients somewhere else.

The most significant difference between NextCare and many of the alternatives for Colorado, North Carolina and Arizona walk in care is that NextCare takes pride in having a doctor on staff (supplemented by physician assistants and nurse practitioners), while many others operate solely with a nurse practitioner. NextCare also provides patient privacy in a purely medical setting at each of its independent, free-standing clinics and can treat a wider variety of medical needs. As a leading urgent care provider, NextCare conducts physical exams for school, sports and employment; administers flu vaccines, breath alcohol testing and urine drug screen testing; and treats illnesses such as urinary tract infections and pneumonia. NextCare can also run screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar, pregnancy, urinalysis, and TB skin tests. Furthermore, NextCare offers lab services such as CBCs and will also soon offer Cardiac Panels and Chemistry Panels.

For 13 years Arizona walk in care clinic NextCare Urgent Care, with presence in North Carolina and Colorado as well, has provided caring, reputable healthcare in the community. NextCare will continue to offer the best quality care and healthcare services under one roof, remaining a leading choice for immediate care.
