Job Summary Express Care, formally known as Urgent Care, is a convenient option for patients 18 months and older who require timely medical care, but the situation is not an emergency.

We do our best to keep all employees in their assigned locations; however, you may also be asked to float to other locations for training/precepting purposes or during times of staffing shortages/other extenuating circumstances (for cross-coverage purposes).
