About UC Foundation |
HistoryThe Urgent Care Foundation had its origins in the desire to expand ongoing Fellowship Programs currently administered by the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA). In the spring of 2009, a group of thought leaders in the urgent care field met to discuss many of the challenges facing the urgent care industry. The group decided that a separate entity was needed to address two of the most serious issues
The Urgent Care Foundation was created to accomplish this and incorporated in 2011. Trustees were recruited based on their credentials and expertise in the field, as well as their vision for the future success of the role of Urgent Care Medicine as an essential part of the healthcare landscape. The Urgent Care Foundation received its 501(c)3 approval from the Internal Revenue Service on August 17, 2012. MissionThe Urgent Care Foundation enhances the role, purpose and awareness of urgent care medicine by inspiring and contributing to research, education, clinical and practice management leadership, as well as innovation in new and emerging healthcare delivery models. Vision Universal recognition of urgent care medicine as an essential component of healthcare, thereby allowing urgent care centers to make significant contributions to the health and wellness of the communities they serve world-wide. You can help the Urgent Care Foundation achieve its mission and vision. Get involved today.Background on the urgent care industry
