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) for all of its Rochester locations -- in the Folsom Health Center, Greece Health Center and Wilson Health Center.  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.

Urgent Care by Lifetime Health is the longest standing urgent care provider in the Rochester and Buffalo regions, serving patients in urgent care settings in Rochester for more than 20 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 the Joseph C. Wilson Health Center location.

Urgent Care by Lifetime Health is offered at three of Lifetime Health’s locations in the Rochester area: Folsom Health Center (1850 Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Rd.); Greece Health Center (470 Long Pond Rd.) and Wilson Health Center (800 Carter St.). Walk in or call ahead at 585/338-1200 for a same day appointment.  You can also click here to view our Urgent Care hours of operation.
