In a nod to newer routes of health care delivery, last month Livonia-based Michigan Urgent Care Centers opened its tenth location, at 3280 Washtenaw Avenue in Ann Arbor.
The 8,000-square-foot building at the corner of Huron and Washtenaw Avenues was formerly a Hollywood Video store. The clinic occupies about half of the space; a pharmacy is being built in the remaining area.
Washtenaw Urgent Care is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and serves pediatric and adult patients.
"Health care is moving away from the hospitals, back into the primary care and urgent care settings because the care [hospitals and emergency rooms] provide is very expensive, and it is not sustainable," says Mohammed Arsiwala, an internist and the owner of Michigan Urgent Care.
The clinic has 8-12 employees on staff, including a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant on duty at all times.
