In 1999, Premier Health became one of the first healthcare companies in the nation to own and operate urgent care centers utilizing a health system, joint-venture model. Today the company is recognized industry-wide as one of most experienced and successful joint-venture, urgent care companies. With nearly 79 urgent care and occupational health clinics, Premier Health is now ranked as a top 10 "Private Urgent Care Operator"​ nationally by the respected on-demand healthcare consulting firm Merchant Medicine. Premier has equity and/or management partnerships with 11 health systems representing 28 hospitals providing on-demand care to nearly 700,000 patients annually at locations scattered across 7 states and Puerto Rico. Built on a foundation of strong physician leadership, Premier's clinical and administrative teams are unmatched in their breadth of "in the trenches"experience. The company offers a comprehensive, turn-key partnership model with Premier Health capable of leading all start-up and operational aspects required to succeed in today's competitive urgent care environment. Premier Health is unique in that its joint-venture clinics operate under its health system partner's name giving each network of clinics instant "brand-equity" and an early competitive advantage in their respective markets. Premier Health works closely with its partners to improve coordination of care across service-lines through systems integration and "patient navigation" processes that pave the way for "downstream referrals." From quality measures to policies and procedures, Premier Health's partnerships are virtually seamless from the perspective of the healthcare consumer. Premier Health is mission-driven with an underlying commitment to providing convenient access to quality, cost-effective care in an urgent care setting.
