Frequently Asked Questions
What is Urgent Care Awareness Week?
A nationwide effort by urgent care centers to encourage awareness of urgent care services in their communities.
Who can participate?
Any urgent care center – freestanding or hospital owned.
How do we participate?
Get the word out to your community! Use the free press release, or any of the printed materials to send alerts to your current and potential patients – don’t forget employers, schools and local physicians. Then, host the events listed on the weekly “agenda” – low-cost ways to get people into your clinic for a “get to know us” event.
Do we have to do the activities on the days specified?
You don’t have to participate in all of the activities – just as many as you can or are appropriate for your patient base – but we would like them all to be on the same dates so we are working in concert nationwide and can do a nationwide press release.
Do we have to be members or register to participate?
While we encourage everyone to be a member of UCAOA, it is not required to participate in Urgent Care Awareness Week. However, if you are participating please let us know so we can recognize your participation!
