Urgent Care Is Finally Getting Noticed for More Than Excellent Care These Days

It took much longer than it should have, but after decades of proving its case urgent care is widely accepted as not only an efficient setting, but also a destination of choice for anyone looking for excellent care. Likewise, the business community is finally picking up on the fact that urgent care companies are substantial players in the healthcare marketplace and as employers. Most recently, as reported by Becker’ Hospital Review, LinkedIn’s Top Companies 2023: The 50 Best Workplaces to Grow Your Career in the U.S. includes two employers with substantial urgent care profiles. UnitedHealth Group is number 7 on the list, while Kaiser Permanente came in at number 10. Other healthcare companies listed were Edward Lifescience (24), Eli Lilly (33), Bristol Myers Squibb (41), and Medtronic (43). With the job market for clinicians and staff so tight, currently, this is good press for the industry that could help you recruit top talent. Ideas on how you can stand out to potential team members can be found in Becoming the Employer of Choice for the Emerging Urgent Care Workforce, available now in the JUCM archive.
