Testimonials
Wichita Clinic has been a great organization in which to grow and thrive as a physician. My father, who was a surgeon and a member of Wichita Clinic for 35 years, encouraged me to join the group after I finished my vascular surgery fellowship in 1985. When I asked him why, he said, “Because the physicians run the group, and they have always treated me fairly.” He was exactly right on both counts. I am proud to be a member of Wichita Clinic, and am starting my 21st year of practice here.

(Wichita, KS) –Wichita Clinic Immediate Care-Murdock (3311 E Murdock) has met all Certified Urgent Care criteria as a Category 1 center as established by the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA). This certification required an on-site visit to evaluate care and treatment at the center. (A full list of the certification criteria is available at www.ucaoa.org/recognition_certification.php). Wichita Clinic Immediate Care-Murdock is currently the only Certified Urgent Care Center in Kansas (see http://www.ucaoa.org/recognition_certification_certifiedsites.php) and provides treatment for walk-in patients with immediate healthcare needs who don’t require emergency care. Immediate Care hours are Monday through Friday from 8 am to 8 pm, Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm and Sunday from noon to 6 pm. Holiday hours may vary.
According to the Joint Commission and the Urgent Care Association of America there are 8,000 urgent care centers nationwide. Only a small percentage have been certified by the UCAOA. Wichita Clinic’s Immediate Care Practice Manager Drew Hare says, “Our staff plays an increasingly important role in the healthcare industry by giving patients an alternative when an appointment with their doctor isn’t available or convenient. We provide care during regular business hours Monday through Friday and also see patients on evenings and weekends.” For more information call 316-689-9107.
