Why Healthcare? Types of Services AFC Offers

FOUNDED IN 1982

Urgent care centers, sometimes referred to as walk-in physician services, have become a very popular medical solution for millions of Americans. They provide convenience and affordability that are not possible with more traditional medical providers. Urgent care allows a patient to be taken care of immediately, even in the evening and on weekends, without having to wait for an appointment with a primary care physician. They relieve the strain on local emergency rooms by handling non-life-threatening conditions.

URGENT CARE VISITS ARE A FRACTION OF THE COST

Best of all, urgent care visits are typically a fraction of the cost and time of hospital emergency rooms visits.

ALMOST 3 MILLION PATIENTS SERVED LAST YEAR

Learn why AFC’s services stand out from the competition, and why many demographics have already identified AFC as their go-to urgent care clinic.

American Family Care centers take urgent care to a new level by offering additional on-site services such as x-rays and labs, improved wait times, speedier visits, and more highly-trained medical staff than other urgent care providers. We are also open early and late, seven days a week. Our centers accept most local and national insurance plans and offer very competitive self-pay options.

OUR FRANCHISE BUSINESS PLAN

This urgent care business plan, which capitalizes on multiple urgent care revenue streams, has made AFC the go-to clinic in communities across the U.S.

Are Urgent Care Centers Profitable?

If you’ve found yourself wondering, “Are urgent care franchises profitable?” we’re here to tell you that the key is to offer a suite of services — because, as with any business, the more you have to offer, the more potential customers you’ll have.

Most visits to a primary care physician can be handled immediately by one of our walk-in medical centers. We can provide nearly all of the non-life-threatening treatments that emergency rooms can at a lower price and without the wait, so our franchises are the more popular choice in many communities. Below is a list of medical services provided by our centers.

AFC provides a wide range of services geared to help many demographics, such as:

• People dealing with non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries
• Pediatric and adult patients in need of relief from common conditions
• Employees in need of lab testing so they can stay on the job
• Those in need of preventative care such as vaccinations
• …and many others

All of these groups love that AFC offers speedy, affordably-priced care that keeps them out of their local emergency rooms without needing to wait for an appointment with their regular doctor.

Ear Infections, Bronchitis, Strep Throat, The Flu

No one is invincible, and at some point, everyone will contract an illness like a cold or laryngitis. Suffering from common issues such as ear infections, bronchitis, strep throat, or the stomach flu can be a nuisance, which is only compounded by the headache of trying to schedule an appointment with a primary care physician.

This is where AFC franchisees have the opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade with our industry-leading urgent care business plan.

Our walk-in urgent care centers are open seven days a week, no appointments necessary. Our physicians treat common illness on a daily basis, with short wait times and no appointment necessary, eliminating the headache.

COVID-19 SAME DAY TESTING

We stay on top of the latest innovations in healthcare to give our franchisees an edge over the competition – ask us about the measures we took to keep patients safe during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Guarantee all family members are immunized

The invention of vaccines paved the way for healthier and longer-living generations. At American Family Care, we ensure each of our centers are stocked with a number of important vaccines that can help guarantee you and all your family members are properly immunized.

Throughout the flu season, every one of our centers is stocked with flu shots – available on a walk-in basis. Our centers also administer vaccines for illnesses like polio, measles, meningitis, and hepatitis A and B. Many of our centers also carry travel vaccines that help our travel-bound patients stay healthy abroad.

D.O.T., Immigration, Pre-Employment, Sports & Executive Physicals

Clients can visit any of our American Family Care centers to receive their physical exam from one of our board-certified physicians. Employers love that they can quickly get confirmation that their employees are in good health after visiting one of our clinics. We monitor and test our patients’ heart rates, blood pressure, cholesterol, and a number of other attributes.

We also administer several specialty physicals, designed for both patient and employer application. These include D.O.T. physicals, immigration physicals, pre-employment physicals, and executive physicals.
