Bon Secours is expanding its network of urgent care centers in Richmond, beginning with the opening of a new urgent care center, Bon Secours Urgent Care, Midlothian, on June 19, 2023. Four additional locations will open in the coming months in the East End, Regency Square, Nuckols Road and Swift Creek areas. Adding these five new locations to the existing Glen Allen facility will bring the total number of Bon Secours Urgent Care centers in the area to six. Additional locations are planned for next year.
The expansion is in response to a growing number of patients seeking convenient, accessible care for minor illnesses and injuries. Each urgent care facility is designed for today’s busy families who need convenient retail sites with free, easy parking, walk-in appointments, the option to reserve a spot online, and the added connection to a health system if a higher level of care is needed.
“We are proud to expand and scale our urgent care offerings to improve access to same-day care, making health care easier for patients throughout the Richmond area,” said Mike Lutes, market president, Bon Secours Richmond. “Our vision is to deliver the quality, compassionate care Bon Secours is known for in a more personalized, quick and convenient setting. We want patients to spend less time waiting and more time with their health care provider.”
If primary or specialty care is needed following the urgent care visit, the Bon Secours urgent care team will coordinate that for the patient. And, if more critical care is needed, the Bon Secours urgent care team will connect patients and their loved ones to nearby hospitals.
“In addition to quick, convenient care that’s easy to access, our expanded hours and days of service support work, families, and active lifestyles, and our patients can connect to their test results, labs and patient records through MyChart,” said Lutes.
The new 4,408 square foot Bon Secours Urgent Care, Midlothian located at 14163 Midlothian Turnpike, includes eight treatment rooms large enough for parents and/or family to be present with the patient, as well as on-site x-ray and labs.
Examples of the common illnesses and injuries our urgent care teams treat in children and adults include:
- Allergies, asthma
