The number of urgent care centers in the U.S. has surpassed 8,700 as big well-capitalized companies like CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance consider whether to add such services across the country.
The number of U.S. urgent care centers rose 8% to 8,774 last year from 8,125 in 2017 , according to the latest figures from the Urgent Care Association, which released a new report this week in collaboration with Merchant Medicine.
