The urgent care community continues to find innovative ways to ensure it’s not left out of the discussion—and on the sidelines when lives are at stake—during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The latest development is an Urgent Care Association initiative, in partnership with Braid Health, to offer covid-test-finder.com, an online database highlighting urgent care clinics that offer COVID-19 diagnostic or antibody testing in local communities. In the press release announcing availability of the database, UCA CEO Lou Ellen Horwitz stressed that neighborhood urgent care centers “are equipped to not only test for COVID-19 but also to diagnose and treat other likely causes of upper respiratory illness,” as well as the array of services they offered before the current crisis. The rationale behind the database is illustrated by urgent care leaders in an accompanying public service announcement, as well.
