AllBetterCare Urgent Care changes name to UPMC Urgent Care
Ioannis Pashakis//March 11, 2021
Three urgent care clinics owned by UPMC Pinnacle have changed their names to fit under the Harrisburg-based health system’s UPMC Urgent Care brand.
UPMC Pinnacle’s AllBetterCare Urgent Care centers in Carlisle, Harrisburg and Mechanicsburg, changed their names to UPMC Urgent Care, joining 13 other centers across the midstate.
AllBetterCare affiliated with PinnacleHealth shortly before the system was purchased by UPMC in early fall 2017.
“Convenient and accessible urgent care services reduce unnecessary emergency department visits, while providing personal, efficient and superior walk-in care,” said Dr. Peter Kang, emergency medicine specialist at UPMC Urgent Care. “Since joining UPMC in 2017, we have been providing our patients more coordinated care with increased access to specialists throughout the UPMC network.”
UPMC Urgent care employs over 70 emergency and family practice physicians, advanced practice providers and support staff.
In addition to joining under the UPMC Urgent Care brand, the three centers will also move into UPMC Pinnacle’s electronic health record platform, Epic.
