PARMA, Ohio — University Hospitals opened a new urgent care facility in Parma on Monday as “part of the larger plan to deliver healthcare closer to where patients live, shop and work.”
The UH Urgent Care Parma -- which is located at 1634 Snow Road -- is less than a 10-minute drive from UH Parma Medical Center. Officials say it will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week with special hours on some holidays.
Services include on-site X-ray, lab, EKG, medication dispensing and more.
“Our UH Urgent Care delivery model aims to provide the most convenient and valuable care for our patients,” explained UH Chief Operating Officer Paul Hinchey, MD, MBA. “Having easy access to urgent care locations provide a more affordable option than emergency departments for patients who don’t have a primary care physician but need immediate, non-life-threating medical attention. By offering more urgent care locations, we can relieve the burden on emergency departments and reduce wait times so our emergency medicine teams can focus on critical cases.”
