If your Urgent Care is down the street from one of these hospitals, the opportunity is real: Be visible, be trusted, and make it clear you’re the best option for these urgent visits.

Becker’s new list of hospitals with the most ED visits in 2025 shows just how high demand remains at the front door of care.

Urgent Care is uniquely positioned to step in to provide timely, appropriate care for non‑emergent needs AND preserve hospital capacity for higher‑acuity patients.

The operators who lead will focus on:

• Clear patient education on where to go for what
• Alignment with local hospitals and communities
• Readiness to confidently manage a broad range of urgent conditions

Having patients go to their local Urgent Care for their non-emergent needs is how access improves and the care continuum gets stronger.
