Burlington Town Center Could Get Urgent Care Facility

BURLINGTON, MA -- The urgent care center business is expected to grow 6% this year to $18 billion, and some of that growth could happen in Burlington Town Center. Mammoth Acquisition Company LLC has applied to build a 5,000-square-foot urgent care center on the Cambridge Street parcel currently occupied by a Gulf gas station. But the center Mammoth Acquisition will be the first-of-its-kind in Massachusetts and a far cry from the typical urgent care centers, like the Minute Clinics run by CVS.

"The typical urgent care facility can see up to 30 percent of patients who would walk into an emergency department, but our proposed facility has emergency room physicians, nurses, and a complex lab that can treat 80 percent of people coming to an emergency department," Michael Coffman, an attorney for Mammoth Acquisition, told the Burlington Union, which first reported this story. "Our focus is on customer service and we are in the top 1 percent in the customer service medical field in the country. Affordability makes all services cheaper than the typical emergency room."
