Maine Urgent Care in Tospham earns UCA accreditation

TOPSHAM — Maine Urgent Care recently received accreditation through the Urgent Care Association, the highest level of distinction for urgent care centers nationwide. It’s a top honor for the center, which opened last year.

The accreditation recognizes that MUC provides patients with walk-in, extended-hour medical attention with licensed providers for a large scope of medical conditions, and has met all of the Urgent Care Association’s established standards and criteria for quality of patient care, safety and scope of services.
“Our highest priority is delivering quality, accessible care when and where our patients need it,” said Melissa Caccamo, director of ambulatory services for Central Maine Healthcare. “This honor reflects that commitment and we’re proud to have been recognized by the Urgent Care Association.”
In a changing healthcare environment, urgent care is a convenient and viable option for medical conditions that can’t wait for a scheduled appointment with a primary care provider. Maine Urgent Care also provides those services at a lower cost than in-hospital emergency rooms.
The center on Topsham Fair Mall Road is adjacent to Central Maine Healthcare’s Topsham Care Center, which offers specialty care, diagnostics, imaging and cancer care under one roof.
Maine Urgent Care, which has seen steady growth in patients since opening in September 2018, is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. In addition to urgent services for minor illnesses and injuries, MUC offers sports and camp physicals and inoculations, including flu shots.
Patients may walk in or reserve an appointment online. For more information, visit www.maineurgentcare.com
