Vermont Urgent Care has made testing for and treating sexually transmitted diseases a clinical priority in its Los Angeles neighborhood—even offering to test qualified patients at no cost. That decision is paying off with acclaim in being called out as one of the top providers of herpes testing services in the LA metro area. It started as part of a concentrated effort to expand the operation’s sexual health services. That allowed its providers to both address a need in the community but also introduce area residents to the breadth of services the clinic offers. As noted in JUCM News previously, patients who are concerned they could have an STD may be drawn to the relative anonymity of urgent care. For more about the role your urgent care center can play in providing care for patients who may have a sexually transmitted disease, read STDs: Assessment and Treatment in Urgent Care in the JUCM archive.
