FastMed was started in 2001, under the name Urgent Cares of America, Inc. Patients were delighted that they could finally receive consistent, high-quality, and reasonably priced health care right in their own neighborhood. By focusing on synergy, value, and an exceptional patient experience, Urgent Cares of America was able to successfully decrease the complexities and costs of health care. The savings are passed along to the patient; the outstanding medical care builds trusting relationships.
