New Medical Center Opens In Manhattan Beach

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA – A new medical center, Exer More Than Urgent Care, is opening in Manhattan Beach today on the corner of N. Sepulveda Blvd and 33rd Street in Manhattan Beach. Exer is California's fastest growing privately-owned Emergency Room alternative, built and staffed by ER Doctors, the Exer press release said.

Exer offers patients more medical services than a traditional walk-in urgent care, including: X-ray, IV, Lab, Splinting, Laceration Rooms, Diagnostics, and more.

“Our goal at Exer More Than Urgent Care is to help people feel better, faster, and we are honored to open our doors here Manhattan Beach today,” said Rob Mahan, Exer More Than Urgent Care chief executive officer. “We are ready to provide the South Bay with a convenient and affordable alternative to the Emergency Room, ideal for when conditions become urgent or serious but
are non-life- threatening.”

Nearly one-third of ER visits in California are not considered to be true medical emergencies, Mahan said. At Exer, the staff can stabalize and treat more than 80 percent of cases seen in a local ER with less waiting, and for a better price, he added.

Providence, the third largest not-for-profit health care system in the U.S., is working closely with Exer to help bring emergency medicine directly in to more Southern California communities. The partnership helps patients access much-needed healthcare while saving time and money, ultimately easing the strain on local emergency departments in areas Exer serves, Mahan said.

“The opening of Exer in Manhattan Beach is a fantastic achievement as we work to increase patients’ access to quality and affordable healthcare,” said Erik G. Wexler, chief executive, Providence St. Joseph Health, Southern California Region. “We congratulate our partners at Exer and salute their continued efforts to expand medical services in Southern California.”

In addition to Manhattan Beach, Exer operates centers in Redondo Beach, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Newbury Park, Northridge, Sherman Oaks and Santa Clarita. Each facility is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with minimal waiting; last patients are registered daily at 8:30 p.m. Exer accepts most PPOs, most HMOs, Medicare and offers affordable payment options for those with minimal or no health insurance.
