CareNow® earns UCA reaccreditation: Continuing our commitment to excellence

CareNow® urgent care is proud to share that we have once again earned accreditation from the Urgent Care Association (UCA), reaffirming our longstanding dedication to deliver safe, high-quality accessible healthcare.

Our reaccreditation is a powerful validation of the care we provide every day at each CareNow location. Earning this distinction again means that we continue to meet and exceed nationally recognized standards of excellence for clinical care, quality measures and safety.

What does UCA Accreditation mean?

UCA Accreditation is among the highest distinctions an urgent care organization can receive. The process entails a comprehensive organizational assessment, including a virtual survey and on-site clinic visits with UCA Accreditation surveyors. At CareNow you can count on:

• Dedicated, licensed providers committed to quality care and treatment at every clinic
• Strict safety standards for the care of you and your family
• A wide scope of services from illnesses and injuries to on-site X-rays and lab testing
• Access to HCA Healthcare's comprehensive network

Unlike a one-time certificate, UCA Accreditation must be actively maintained. CareNow is committed to regular re-evaluation and continuous improvement to keep this standard alive. We don’t see it as a finish line — we see it as a constant goalpost, one that challenges us to keep raising the bar in how we serve.

Qualified and experienced professionals

This accomplishment belongs to every member of our care team — from our team of healthcare providers to administrators and support staff. Their hard work, focus and dedication in delivering quality patient care affirms our position in the limited number of urgent care organizations to receive this distinction.

We know that you have a choice in where you receive care. Achieving and maintaining our UCA Accreditation is one more reason you can feel confident when you walk through our doors. It sends a clear message that you are receiving urgent care that meets the highest national standards — care that’s safe, consistent and focused on your needs.

Commitment to our communities

For CareNow, providing high-quality care is more than our UCA distinction; it is evidence of our core values of quality, convenience and service. Some of the many examples of our dedication to you include:

• Internal quality reviews to ensure clinically appropriate antibiotic prescribing
• 80,000 medical records reviews by medical leadership to ensure you continue to receive the best care possible
• Committed focus to reduce patient wait times and get you back to what you value in your lives so you can feel better fast

In addition, with convenient locations, extended hours and walk-in availability, we aim to make high-quality care as accessible as it is excellent.

Our reaccreditation illustrates our commitment to every person who steps into one of our clinics — from the child with a sore throat to the adult recovering from an injury and everyone in between. It’s our honor to serve you with care that’s nationally recognized, locally delivered and always personal.
