While popular hospitals and healthcare systems such as The Queen’s Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, Hawaii Pacific Health, Leahi Hospital, and others offer Hawaiians a variety of providers to choose from, traditional healthcare is not always a convenient or cost-effective option for everyone. Especially for those Americans who are unemployed or uninsured.

More and more, Americans are turning to urgent care locations and walk-in clinics to meet their healthcare needs.
Urgent Care in Hawaii
As the number of primary care physicians slowly declines, many Hawaiians are faced with the serious challenge of how and where to have their healthcare needs met. A large rural population and inadequate infrastructure results in some Hawaiians lacking access to traditional healthcare options. Urgent care and walk-in clinics provide residents with accessibility to healthcare providers that they didn't have before. However, not all cities and towns in Hawaii have accessible and convenient urgent care and walk-in clinics available. Additionally, for those residents living in rural or remote areas, urgent care clinics can be non-existent. PlushCare Urgent Care provides healthcare services to any individual in Hawaii, regardless of employment or insurance status.
