Overview
Mission
UCA exists to ensure the advancement and long-term success of Urgent Care.
What it reported doing in 2024
Certification/Accreditation - UCA administers a certification program to recognize those urgent care centers that meet the scope of services as defined by the Association. An accreditation program was launched in March 2014 to evaluate and recognize centers that meet not only the UCA defined scope of practice, but also nationally standardized criteria associated with quality and safety. Also, ongoing outreach is conducted to educate the industry and third party payers about the value of certification (recognizing scope) and accreditation (recognizing quality).
