CareWell Urgent Care to Open New Location in Somerville

CareWell Urgent Care today announced plans to open a new urgent care center in Somerville, MA, located at 349 Broadway, on December 23. This marks CareWell’s 15th location to open since 2012. The expansion is part of the company’s commitment to better serve the growing need for convenient and accessible healthcare in New England. In addition to this continued commitment to improving community health, CareWell will be offering free flu vaccinations at the new Somerville location from December 23 until January 31.

“With the need for neighborhood healthcare, especially on weekends and evenings, continuing to grow, we are excited to announce the opening of our Somerville location,” said CEO Shaun Ginter. “The addition of a 15th location marks a huge milestone in CareWell’s continued effort to bring the highest quality healthcare services to local communities both affordably and efficiently.”

With locations serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island, CareWell offers medical care from Board-certified doctors, with no referral or appointment necessary. Patients can visit CareWell centers for all non-life-threatening, but still urgent, illnesses or injuries, including colds, flu, infections, fractures, cuts, rashes and allergic reactions. Centers also offer preventative care such as flu shots, vaccinations and routine physical exams with on-site x-ray and lab capabilities. Additionally, CareWell provides employers with comprehensive occupational medicine services that help businesses reduce the cost of healthcare while maintaining a healthy workforce.

Carewell Urgent Care centers accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid with co-pay and visit fees comparable to a visit with a primary care physician. In addition, CareWell offers affordable self-pay rates for those who do not have insurance. All CareWell locations are open from 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week.
