Lansing Urgent Care opens third location on Westside

Lansing Urgent Care is growing. The business, which opened its first location in 2006 and its second in 2010, is now preparing to open a third location on Lansing’s Westside. 

 

“When we were honored as the Greater Lansing Entrepreneur of the year in Healthcare services in 2011 it spurred us to expand and help fulfill the need for same day medical services," says Dr. Terry Matthews, owner of Lansing Urgent Care. "Another motivator to open our third facility is that family doctors are retiring at record rates and sadly fewer and fewer new doctors are entering primary care. As a result, patients often experience a delay in seeing their own doctor or they resort to a very expensive ER visit at the moment they need care."

 

The 4500 square foot facility will open in early December on West Saginaw just east of the Lansing Mall in Delta Township. According to a Lansing Urgent Care spokesperson, the new office will help ease the regional demand for their services. 

 

“As a physician it always feels good to bring additional medical services to an area," says Matthews. "As local business owners my wife Catherine and I are very excited to be able to bring many new permanent full-time positions to the Lansing area."

 

The new Lansing Urgent Care location will be similar to the existing facilities, with six exam rooms, an onsite lab and digital X-Ray services. Hiring began company-wide earlier this year to prepare for the opening. Eight new positions have been created over the last year, bringing the total staff of Lansing Urgent Care to 42 employees.
