The UCA Commission on Diversity is seeking organizations to participate in the pilot of a new DEI Commendation.
This Commendation was created in order to reinforce a commitment to best practices and health equity, which requires systemic, complex, data driven outcomes. Because data often shows healthcare quality and outcomes are often worse for minorities, women, LGBTQ+, disabled, and those living in rural areas, UCA and the Commission on Diversity have created a new opportunity for Urgent Care organizations to be recognized for their commitment to addressing healthcare disparities by implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies.
The DEI Commendation acknowledges those who can demonstrate their ability to create an inclusive environment, while fostering equal opportunities, and embracing diversity in all its forms.
Applicants will submit evidence of compliance with no fewer than one initiative per core element demonstrating a commitment to health equity through clinical practices, operations and/or community outreach strategies.
Four Pillars of the DEI Commendation

Published quarterly, Urgent Caring is a peer-reviewed publication from the College of Urgent Care Medicine and includes editorials from UCA board members, case studies, Urgent Updates and more.

Welcome to the Rural and Urgent Care Clinics Virtual Summit 2024! Virtual clinics can be set up anywhere. Providing care remotely increases access to care, improves patient engagement and satisfaction, and if done right, can address staff shortages. The Rural and Urgent Care Clinics Virtual Summit brings together leading healthcare clinicians to share how they are leveraging virtual care to provide better access to care, leveraging different locations and solutions. Our speakers will talk about how they have increased healthcare access in rural locations, Urgent Care clinics, pharmacies, and other community sites, and how today they are providing high-quality care to more patients than ever.
