NextCare Urgent Care

NextCare Urgent Care operates a network of walk-in medical clinics that provide urgent care, occupational health, and basic wellness services across several regions of the United States. The company began in 1993 with a single clinic in Mesa, Arizona, founded to offer accessible healthcare outside of traditional hospital environments. Over the years, NextCare has grown steadily, reaching a notable milestone in 2015 when it surpassed 100 locations, which helped establish its presence as one of the largest privately held urgent care providers in the country.

As of November 2025, NextCare manages more than 170 clinics throughout Arizona, Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Virginia. The company’s recent expansion has focused on high-growth suburban and mid-sized urban areas, particularly in Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, Virginia, Oklahoma, and Colorado. Growth has come through a mix of new clinic openings and acquisitions, with recent entries into markets such as Texas, North Carolina, and Virginia. Additional locations are planned for the coming year.

NextCare tends to select sites in retail corridors and freestanding medical buildings, often in regions experiencing population growth and limited competition in urgent care. The brand’s operational model emphasizes convenience, with extended hours, online check-in, and broad insurance acceptance. Its consistent clinic format and stable operations have made NextCare a reliable tenant for property owners and developers, especially in mixed-use and retail medical settings. The company’s ongoing expansion signals a continued appetite for new locations in both established and emerging markets.
