BENTON, AR (Oct. 30, 2017) Baptist Health Urgent Care is now open in Benton, AR.

The urgent care center treats pain and conditions that are non-life threatening. With no appointment needed, patients are seen on a walk-in basis for a variety of medical needs, including:

Experienced practitioner Tamara Tate, APRN (advanced practice registered nurse), will lead the team, along with a licensed practical nurse and X-ray technologist. Anna Wilkerson, APRN, will join the team in mid-December.

Baptist Health, in a joint venture with Urgent Team, one of the Southeast’s largest independent operators of urgent and family care centers, currently has urgent care centers in North Little Rock, Bryant and Jacksonville.

“We’re very excited to expand urgent care services to the residents in Benton,” said Troy Wells, president and CEO of Baptist Health. “Providing convenient access and affordable care for urgent, but non-emergency needs, is a strategic focus we’re intent on providing throughout Arkansas.”

“We’re privileged to partner with such a highly-respected healthcare organization,” said Mike Dupuis, Urgent Team Division Vice President. “Our goal is to meet the growing patient needs for quality care delivered in a convenient location at an affordable price.”

Baptist Health’s expansion into urgent care provides unscheduled access to care for patients, as well as supports Baptist Health physicians who want to provide an after-hours option to their patients. While an individual’s primary care provider should be the main choice since the physicians knows the patient’s entire medical history, sometimes immediate care is needed.
