Urgent Team Walk-In Urgent Care Opens in Muscle Shoals, AL

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. (Nov. 13, 2017) Urgent Team, one of the Southeast’s largest independent operators of urgent and family care centers, has opened in Muscle Shoals at 210 Avalon Ave. across from Walmart.

This new urgent care center will provide Shoals residents urgent and family care, as well as wellness services, on a walk-in basis. The urgent care center treats pain and conditions that are non-life threatening. With no appointment needed and open seven days a week, Urgent Team treats a variety of medical conditions and needs, including:

 

  • Asthma and allergies
  • Bites, stings, allergic reactions
  • Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting
  • Ear and Eye injuries
  • Burns, immunizations and vaccinations
  • Flu, colds and viral illnesses
  • Sprains, strains, broken bones
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Skin conditions
  • School, sports and wellness physicals
  • Occupational Health services

 

The Urgent Team Family of Centers provides quality and affordable family healthcare in four states at 32 locations with four brands. The company will continue to expand access to healthcare in Alabama, opening an urgent care center in Huntsville in late November and in Florence in mid-March 2018.

“Muscle Shoals is a fast-growing community and providing convenient and affordable care for urgent but non-emergency needs is a primary focus we are intent on providing throughout Alabama,” said Urgent Team CEO and Chairman Tom Dent. “Urgent care is quicker and less expensive than an emergency room for receiving treatment for pain or conditions that are nonlife-threatening.”

Leading the team are Nurse Practitioners Misty Coats and Erica Conley. Coats, who has more than 10 years of nursing experience most recently cared for patients at Hospice of the Valley in Decatur. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Auburn University (with a Bachelor of Science) and Magna Cum Laude from University of North Alabama (with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing), before becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner.

Conley joins the team from Florence Family Practice where she collaborated with physicians on direct patient care, performed procedures and managed a staff of six. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Troy University. She was a registered nurse and worked in internal medicine/nephrology at Huntsville Hospital prior to becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner.

“We’re very excited to have these compassionate and experienced caregivers on our team,” said Urgent Team Division Vice President Nancy Becker. “Misty’s experience in nursing, most recently in geriatrics and acute care, is a huge plus! And Erica’s background in family practice and internal medicine will serve our patients well.”

Urgent Team-Muscle Shoals is open: Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. Most insurance plans, including TRICARE, Medicare and Medicaid, as well as cash and credit card are accepted.
