Why Choose NCH Marco Island Urgent Care?
When it comes to your health, choosing the right urgent care center can make all the difference. At the NCH Marco Island Urgent Care Center, we go beyond the basics you might find at a typical walk-in clinic offering advanced diagnostic capabilities, highly trained board-certified emergency physicians, and a full range of on-site services designed to give you faster answers and better outcomes. The comparison below shows how our comprehensive approach delivers more value, convenience, and expertise for you and your family.
| Marco Urgent Care | Other Local Basic Walk-in Center |
|---|---|
| Staffed with board-certified emergency physicians | Staffed with internal medicine physician, NPs, or PAs |
| Staffed with two registered nurses, expediting patient care while minimizing wait time | Staffed with medical assistants, who receive less training and education, and only one RN |
| Offers CT scan, X-ray, and in the new urgent care building we will be offering ultrasound imaging with on-call radiologists reading results to ensure comprehensive review | Offer only X-ray with no on-call radiologist reading X-ray |
| Offer two negative pressure rooms in the new urgent care building to maintain airborne isolation precaution to prevent the spread of infection | Do not have this specialty room to control the spread of airborne infection, exposing others to illness |
| Offers extended hours of operation 8 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. daily, except for reduced hours on major holidays | Offer shorter operation hours and are not open on holidays at all |
| Offer IV infusions, blood testing, and point-of-care nasal swab testing | Most of those testing measures are not offered |
| Offers seamless hospital integration with NCH, including transfer, advanced treatment, or specialist consultation if needed | Not affiliated with other hospitals or doctors, leaving patients to figure out where to go for follow-up care |
| Our facility is the recipient of the PRC 5-star Award for quality in 2025 | No other local walk-in clinic has been recognized for quality care |
As a hospital-based urgent care center, Marco Urgent Care includes a facility fee with all visits – an investment that reflects added value and elevated care our patients receive at our facility compared to basic walk-in clinics where you get what you pay for.
