AFC Urgent Care – Bon Secours receives UCA Accreditation

AFC Urgent Care Bon Secours 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.

“Urgent care is a vital part of creating access to care for our community, filling the gap between primary care and emergency rooms. With this accreditation, we’ve demonstrated our ability to offer top notch care that comes with increased convenience and cost savings for our patients,” said Andy Choi, regional operations director for AFC Urgent Care Bon Secours.

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 ER but cannot wait for a primary care visit. AFC Urgent Care Bon Secours accepts unscheduled, walk-in patients and is equipped with x-ray, laboratory services and licensed providers available to perform minor procedures such as splinting and suturing.

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

AFC Urgent Care Bon Secours includes 17 locations across the Upstate including facilities in Anderson, Boiling Springs, Clemson, Duncan, Easley, Greenville, Greenwood, Greer, Mauldin, Powdersville, Simpsonville, and Spartanburg. They’re open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. providing convenient access and care for most minor injuries and illnesses with the backing of Bon Secours St. Francis Health System’s medical clinics, specialists, and hospitals for more advanced care needs.
