Award-Winning New England Urgent Care Celebrates Grand Opening

Immediate medical care grand opening celebration in Manchester

New England Urgent Care Manchester held a grand opening event at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, May 2 at its newest location in the Manchester Parkade Plaza (Stop & Shop) on Middle Turnpike West. Over 40 people were in attendance, including the town’s Mayor Jay Moran, Deputy Mayor Margaret Hackett, and former Mayor Diana. The event included refreshments, giveaways, site tours, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Longtime family friend and rabbi, Rabbi Adler, gave the blessing.

Mayor Moran praised New England Urgent Care for opening its newest location in Manchester and added, “The most important thing in our community is safety and health. We welcome you to this community.”

New England Urgent Care's Medical Director and co-founder, Dr. Michael Gutman, MD, PhD, FACEP explained, “New England Urgent Care treat patients way faster than a hospital Emergency Department and is much less expensive — one-tenth the cost. Our goal is to make each patient feel welcome and understood from the moment they are greeted by our front desk registration to medical treatment the receive by our ER-trained staff to the time they leave. New England Urgent Care does not replace a patient’s primary care physician; in fact we work with them. If you can’t get in to see your doctor and come here for treatment, we send all records to your primary care.”
