ATLANTA - Michimich -- Peachtree Immediate Care will remain the dedicated urgent care provider for the Emory Healthcare Network, offering patients more locations throughout metro-Atlanta for their urgent care needs. The two organizations recently signed a new long-term agreement to continue their collaborative relationship.

In 2016, Peachtree Immediate Care became a member of the Emory Healthcare Network, a clinically integrated network of employed and private-practice physicians focused on quality of services, enhanced care coordination and cost management. At that time, Peachtree Immediate Care had 16 locations in metro-Atlanta. Since then, the urgent care company has grown to over 50 locations across Atlanta and other nearby regions, and more locations are opening soon in underserved areas. Most recently, a new center opened in Lovejoy, a southern suburb of Atlanta.

"Peachtree Immediate Care's expansion has increased access points for patients who may need care for non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries closer to home," says Joon S. Lee, MD, CEO of Emory Healthcare. "By having a dedicated urgent care provider, we are able to offer patients more coordinated care and integration between our two organizations."

"Peachtree Immediate Care has been and continues to be a valued member of the Emory Healthcare Network -- offering patients timely urgent care, leaving emergency departments more available for patients with critical needs, and supporting our primary care physicians when they are not available during nights and weekends," says Patrick Hammond, CEO of the Emory Healthcare Network.

Know Where to Go:
It can be confusing to know where to seek help when a family member or loved one is sick. Below are some guidelines to assist:

• Emergency care: For severe, life-threatening conditions. Call 911 or visit your nearest emergency department if someone is experiencing chest pain, symptoms of heart attack or stroke, seizures, head injury or loss of consciousness.
• Urgent care: For non-life-threatening injuries, illnesses or other health conditions that may need urgent attention. Urgent care clinics offer scheduled appointments or walk-ins seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Primary care: For routine doctor's visits, including an annual physical exam, minor illnesses and/or injuries. Call your primary care office to schedule an appointment.
