HCA Midwest Health System has entered into a joint venture with CareSpot, an urgent care, occupational health and wellness provider, to develop up to six urgent care centers in the greater Kansas City area.
The urgent care centers are intended offer community members access to urgent care services outside of the emergency room. CareSpot will manage daily operations of the centers.
"Urgent care is an important aspect of HCA Midwest Health System's vision to provide our community with a quality, comprehensive health system," said M.L. Lagarde, president of HCA Midwest, in a statement. "Our expertise as a health network can best bridge the continuum of care between urgent, primary and acute care. Our partner, CareSpot, has a proven track record of delivering a highly convenient, less expensive alternative to emergency room visits for non-emergency injuries and illnesses. Our partnership represents a significant step forward in bringing increased access to extraordinary and affordable healthcare in the communities that we serve."
