FastMed Urgent Care Passes 200 New Jobs Mark in NC
Company expects to create 80 to 100 additional jobs for remainder of 2012
Online, April 9, 2012 (Newswire.com) - -- 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.
