Baptist Health has announced that its fifth urgent care center will be located in Cabot. The center is scheduled to open Dec. 11 and will be located at 402 W. Main St., next to First Baptist Church.
Baptist Health, in a joint venture with Urgent Team, one of the Southeast’s largest independent operators of urgent and family care centers, currently has urgent care centers in North Little Rock, Bryant, Jacksonville, and Benton.
“Cabot is the third fastest growing city in Arkansas and providing convenient and affordable care for urgent but non-emergency needs is a primary focus we are intent on providing throughout Arkansas,” said Troy Wells, president and CEO of Baptist Health. “While just a few miles from our state capital city, Cabot’s small town ambiance and family atmosphere remains, and is what makes residing in Cabot so desirable.”
Besides providing unscheduled access to care for residents, Baptist Health Urgent Care also supports Baptist Health physicians who want to provide an after-hours option to their patients. This new urgent care center will provide the area with urgent and family care, wellness services, and occupational health services on a walk-in basis.
Urgent care is quicker and less expensive than an emergency room for receiving treatment for pain or conditions that are nonlife-threatening. With no appointment needed, urgent care treats patients for a variety of medical needs, including asthma and allergies; flu, colds, and viral illnesses; bites, stings, and allergic reactions; sprains, strains, and broken bones; diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting; urinary tract infections; ear and eye injuries; skin conditions; burns; school, sports, and wellness physicals; and immunizations and vaccinations
Beginning Dec. 11, Baptist Health Urgent Care-Cabot will be open seven days a week, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 6 p.m. Most insurance plans, including TRICARE, Medicare, and Medicaid, as well as cash and credit cards, will be accepted.
