About the Company

Urgent Care for Children

Pediatric urgent care network after-hours

Urgent Care for Children (UC4C) runs a network of pediatric urgent care clinics that provide after-hours, weekend, and holiday care for ages birth to 21, serving as a non-emergency alternative to the ER. Clinics operate on a walk-in basis with pediatric-trained staff and offer on-site X-ray, labs, and an in-house pharmacy, while updating the patient’s primary pediatrician after each visit to keep care coordinated. It differentiates itself by being sensor-inclusive and certified to accommodate children with sensory needs, and by delivering a one-stop experience designed to reduce wait times through integrated services. The company aims to expand access to timely pediatric care across the Southeast and to bridge gaps when a child’s regular pediatrician is unavailable, without handling routine well visits or immunizations.
