Join Our Mailing List 

And the Convenient Care Association

[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA]

DEM blueThe Convenient Care Association [CCA] is comprised of companies, medical providers and healthcare systems that provide patients and consumers with accessible, [urgent], affordable and quality healthcare in retail-based locations.

The CCA works primarily to enhance and sustain the growth of the convenient care industry through sharing of best practices and common standards of operation.

The CCA was founded in October 2006 and the first Convenient Care Clinics [CCCs] opened in 2000. The industry grew quickly since then.

Today there are approximately 1,060 clinics in operation, and CCA member clinics represent more than 95% of the industry.

To date, CCCs have served more than 3.5 million patients with its nurse practitioners [NPs] and physician assistants [PAs]. With this rapid expansion, and projected continued growth, it quickly became clear that the shared concerns and needs of both providers and patients could best be served through an association that allowed for:

  • Sharing best practices, common standards of operation, experiences and ideas.
  • Developing common standards of operation to ensure the highest quality of care.
  • A united voice to advance the needs of CCCs and their customers
  • A unified effort to promote the concept of CCCs, and to respond to questions about this evolving industry.
  • Reaching out to the existing medical community and creating new partnerships.
  • Building synergies with traditional medical service providers.

Assessment

The Public Health Management Corporation [PHMC], a nonprofit public health institute, provides executive management and administrative support for the Convenient Care Association.
