Where Urgent Care's Leaders Shape What's Next

The Assembly brings together a select group of Urgent Care leaders for the conversations that shape and affect patient treatment and facility operations.

More than a meeting, it is a working summit designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and action. This invitation-only gathering brings together clinical leaders, executives, strategists, and advocacy voices to tackle the most pressing opportunities and challenges facing Urgent Care today, from operational excellence to policy influence and industry advancement.

Why the Assembly Matters

  • Invitation-Only:  A carefully curated experience that brings together UCA members and senior-level decision-makers, creating an environment rich in expertise, strategic insight, and meaningful dialogue.
  • Cross-Disciplinary: Clinical, operational, and advocacy leaders come together in one room, ensuring discussions reflect the full scope and complexity of the urgent care industry.
  • Sponsor-Integrated: Corporate partners participate as subject matter experts and collaborators, contributing their knowledge, experience, and perspectives to help advance shared goals and innovative solutions.

“Here’s the core truth: Urgent Care has become essential, yet it is still under‑recognized, under‑resourced, and often misunderstood. UCA is the mechanism that is closing that gap through education.”

~ Dr. Tracy Davidoff
