We are proud to announce that Merchant Medicine has partnered for a third year with the Urgent Care Association (UCA) on the annual Urgent Care Benchmark Report. Merchant Medicine’s proprietary industry rankings for Private and Hospital Affiliated Urgent Care Operators, Retail Clinics, Digital Audit and Saturation Index are included in the report.
We have worked closely with numerous clients to increase the number of hospital-affiliated contributors, and roughly doubled the number of units in the most recent study. The report provides over 200 different benchmarks with trended data.
