Urgent Care Earns National Certification

Urgent Care by Lifetime Health, which provides same day care for urgent injuries and illnesses, has received certification by the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA).  The certification places Lifetime Health’s urgent care facilities among only a select few in the country to have met all of the UCAOA’s nationally-standardized criteria. Lifetime Health earned certification for its Amherst, Mosher and West Seneca Health Center locations in the Buffalo area. Urgent Care by Lifetime Health is the longest standing urgent care provider in the Buffalo and Rochester regions, serving patients in urgent care settings in Buffalo for nearly 30 years. UCAOA publicly noted Lifetime Health’s Certified Urgent Care (CUC) designation in the January issue of Journal of Urgent Care Medicine.

To be awarded the CUC designation, Urgent Care centers must meet strict criteria, including accepting walk-in patients of all ages for a wide variety of illness, injury and disease during all hours of operation; maintaining minimum hours of operation seven days a week; having a licensed physician as medical director responsible for overall quality; and performing ethically.

Board-certified internal, family and pediatric medicine physicians as well as experienced physician assistants and nurse practitioners staff Urgent Care by Lifetime Health. Providers are equipped to administer X-ray services, rapid strep tests, EKG, IV fluids, routine blood work and more.  Prescription drugs orders can be written and filled onsite at Urgent Care by Lifetime Health locations. 

Urgent Care by Lifetime Health is offered at Lifetime Health’s locations in the Buffalo area: Amherst Health Center (1185 Sweet Home Rd); Hamburg Health Center (151 Elmview Ave.); Mosher Health Center (899 Main St.); and West Seneca Health Center (120 Gardenville Pkwy West). Walk in or call ahead at 716/656-4040 for a same day appointment.  View our Urgent Care Hours of operation here.
