University Hospitals Relocating Two Urgent Care Facilities

New convenient locations will increase patient access to care

CLEVELAND – University Hospitals will open two Urgent Care facilities in new locations in Mentor and Kent on August 1.

The Mentor Urgent Care will relocate from 8655 Market Street to 6900 Center Street. The new location is right off State Route 2 at the intersection of Route 615 and Tyler Boulevard, just down the road from Mentor High School. The Mentor Urgent Care will be open from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday - Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.

The Kent Urgent Care will move out of the UH Kent Health Center at 408 Devon Place and move to 1005 E. Main St., Suite #3. The new location is just outside the south entrance to Kent State University on a well-traveled road adjacent to restaurants and retail outlets. The Kent Urgent Care will be open from 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday - Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.

The moves were planned to increase convenient access to high-quality health care services to residents across the region. Like the recent opening of the new urgent care in Mayfield Heights, these two new locations are part of the larger plan to deliver health care closer to where patients live, work and shop.

“Our UH Urgent Care delivery model aims to provide the most convenient and valuable care for our patients,” explained UH Chief Operating Officer Paul Hinchey, MD, MBA. “Having easy access to urgent care locations provide a more affordable option than emergency departments for patients who don’t have a primary care physician but need immediate, non-life-threating medical attention. By offering more urgent care locations, we can relieve the burden on emergency departments and reduce wait times so our emergency medicine teams can focus on critical cases.”

The new facilities will be equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by experienced healthcare professionals dedicated to providing compassionate, efficient, and personalized care to patients of all ages.

UH Urgent Care President Lee Resnick, MD, looks forward to the expansion.

"Our primary goal is to reimagine urgent care for Northeast Ohio by removing obstacles and easing access to care while delivering exceptional patient experiences,” Dr. Resnick said. “The expansion of UH Urgent Care in Northeast Ohio is a significant step towards fulfilling this commitment. By increasing access to urgent care services, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families throughout the region, providing them with the prompt and effective care they deserve in retail locations where they live, shop and work."

UH Urgent Care is being operated as part of a joint venture with WellStreet. To support our expansion, UH Urgent Care will be bringing hundreds more healthcare jobs to the Northeast Ohio market. We are currently seeking experienced physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other medical professionals looking for consistent, meaningful work, to join the team.
