fastMed Urgent Care Passes 200 New Jobs Mark in NC
(1888PressRelease) Since its growth in North
Carolina from 9 locations to 20 locations in 2011
one year ago, FastMed Urgent Care as a health
care organization has created more than 200 jobs
across communities throughout North Carolina in
the rapidly growing health care sector. FastMed
also expects to create an additional 80 to 100 as
it opens 10 more clinics in neighborhoods
throughout North Carolina for the remainder of
2012. Throughout 2011, FastMed Urgent Care
opened 11 full service urgent care centers in
North Carolina, creating 152 jobs by hiring
highly experienced and patient centered,
board-certified medical doctors, family nurse
practitioners, physician assistants, medical
assistants, x-ray technicians and clinic
managers. "Our patient-centered model is at the
heart of our success. It allows us to fill a need
in each community we open an urgent care center
within and create jobs locally to that area,"
said Jason A. Williams MPAS, Ph.D, President and
CEO of FastMed's Eastern Region. "Adding great
people to our company creates greater demand for
our quality health care in each of our
communities, growing our business which leads to
job growth throughout all of North Carolina."
Although FastMed accepts all major insurances,
with North Carolina's high number of uninsured,
FastMed is growing due in part to their Discount
Membership Program, which allows self-pay
patients to receive affordable care at any
FastMed urgent care location through a tiered
rate system on certain procedures and
treatments. Another effect FastMed's Urgent Care
centers also have on North Carolina's local job
market is providing local businesses convenient,
affordable and efficient 7 day-a-week
occupational health services including DOT
physicals, worker's compensation, drug testing
and X-ray services.
