Doylestown Health Urgent Care Receives Urgent Care Association Accreditation

Doylestown Health Urgent Care, located at 4259 West Swamp Road in Doylestown, Pa., has received the Urgent Care Association (UCA) Accreditation designation, the highest level of distinction for an urgent care center. UCA Accreditation illustrates an organization's overriding commitment to safety, quality and scope of services.

UCA Accreditation criteria includes meeting standards for governance, human resources, patient care processes, quality improvement, physical environment, health record management and patient privacy/rights/responsibilities. The standards represent a set of practices that collectively support patient service and organizational performance. Accreditation is awarded on a three-year basis.

"This recognition is a continued demonstration of Doylestown Health's commitment to healthcare excellence," said Sean Reinhardt, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Doylestown Health, "We routinely seek opportunities to ensure that we are measuring ourselves against the highest possible standards, and we are proud to have earned Accreditation designation from the Urgent Care Association, distinguishing the level of care Doylestown Health Urgent Care provides within the urgent care marketplace."

Urgent care is a convenient and efficient option for urgent - but not emergency - medical conditions. Such conditions include unexpected cuts, burns, sprains or fractures that do not require a visit to the emergency room but cannot wait for a primary care visit. Staffed by the licensed Doylestown Health providers you know and trust, Doylestown Health Urgent Care accepts unscheduled, walk-in patients in need of X-rays, sutures, and minor prescriptions, procedures, and other urgent care.

"Doylestown Health is proud to fulfill an essential healthcare need, filling the gap between primary care and emergency rooms while offering increased convenience and cost savings to our patients," said Dr. Reinhardt.

With its UCA Accreditation, Doylestown Health Urgent Care demonstrates its commitment to providing patients with access to quality care of the highest level.
