Providence Urgent Care Center Providence Health System Ascension RX

THE FILING ORGANIZATION IS A PART OF THE ASCENSION CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY. ASCENSION IS A FAITH-BASED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION THAT DELIVERS PERSONALIZED, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO ALL, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO NEED IT THE MOST. Providence Hospital's Urgent Care Center is meeting a crucial need for underserved residents with limited access to important health care services. It serves all patients regardless of financial status. The center treats patients with common illnesses like the flu, strep throat and asthma; injuries like sprains, strains and broken bones; and vaccinations, radiology and lab services. It operates from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the week and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends. During fiscal year 2023, PROVIDENCE HOSPITAL provided services for 13,371 urgent care visits. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic Providence Health System's medical practices implemented virtual care throughout all its practices. The virtual and telephonic provider visits were for established patients in our Providence physician practices for anyone who needed immediate care. The visits have focused on primary and behavioral health needs, as well as persons covered by Medicaid and have access to the Myhealth GPS program for care coordination. The Providence Virtual Provider Office started as an extension of our own physician practices. These services will continue at Providence moving forward. Providence is privileged to continue to serve the Washington DC community and will continue to work to keep our communities.
