CareSpot and Baptist Health Open a New Urgent Care Center in Yulee, Fla.
August 24, 2017
Nashville, Tenn./Jacksonville, Fla. CareSpot, the largest urgent care provider in Florida, and Baptist Health — one of the top-ranked healthcare systems in the nation — are opening a new urgent care center in Yulee, Fla., Monday, Nov. 5.
The center is named CareSpot: Affiliated with Baptist Health. It’s the 13th CareSpot urgent care center in the Jacksonville area and the first one to open since the CareSpot name change last month. The center will employ approximately 10 people.
The new CareSpot urgent care center in Yulee provides more convenient healthcare services to the residents of Yulee and the surrounding areas of Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island and Callahan. It also delivers more convenient healthcare for the Jacksonville area because many CareSpot centers are less than a 15-minute drive from each other. That means finding a location quickly when you’re sick.
Online and mobile scheduling tools take the convenience even further. Healthcare requires the collection of family medical history, allergic reactions and other important health information, which can be a time-consuming process with any healthcare provider. However, CareSpot customers can pre-register online to save time at the center. “You can also compare center wait times and save a spot online at CareSpot.com before walking in,” said CareSpot CEO Michael D. Klein. “So we’re a much more convenient option for you, and we always strive for exemplary service. We listen carefully to all customer feedback to ensure we’re always making improvements and providing the best customer experience possible.”
“The CareSpot center in Yulee provides an urgent care option for those patients who need to be seen quickly but do not need the level of care provided at our emergency center at Baptist Medical Center Nassau on Amelia Island,” said Baptist Health Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John Wilbanks.
A New Vision in Healthcare
The 3,500-square-foot CareSpot urgent care center in Yulee is a free-standing facility that CareSpot and Baptist Health built from the ground up. It’s designed to be more convenient and deliver a better patient experience. CareSpot in Yulee offers:
- Two waiting rooms — one for people who need urgent care and another for those utilizing CareSpot occupational health or wellness services
- Six exam rooms that are clearly visible from an administrative area to make sure that patients are being seen quickly
- One room for medical procedures such as sutures, IVs and EKGs
- A digital X-ray room
- An on-site lab to analyze blood tests and drug tests
- On-site prescriptions for many common medications prescribed during visits
The CareSpot urgent care center in Yulee is approximately three times larger than the former Solantic urgent care center that was located inside a Walmart. Solantic (now CareSpot) closed that center two years ago.
CareSpot and Baptist Health are 50/50 partners in the 13 urgent care centers throughout the Jacksonville area. They established their joint venture in Jacksonville in 2010. The CareSpot/Baptist Health centers are the dominant provider of urgent care in the Jacksonville area with more than 200,000 patient visits annually.
