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