NASHVILLE, TN - November 3, 2016 - TriStar Health announced today that its ten CareSpot urgent care centers will become CareNow Urgent Care on December 1, 2016. The centers provide a wide range of medical services with the convenience of extended hours, walk-in appointments and Web Check-In(R) to reduce waiting in the center lobby.

"The CareNow brand represents our one-stop approach to service, value and convenience in providing urgent care services across Middle Tennessee," said Steve Corbeil, President and CEO of TriStar Health. "Patients will find the same exceptional service for their urgent medical needs that they have trusted us to provide in their community for almost five years."

TriStar Health currently has 10 urgent care locations across Middle Tennessee with locations in Brentwood, Cool Springs, Donelson, Green Hills, Hendersonville, Hermitage, Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, Murfreesboro and West End. A new location is planned for Antioch in the near future.

Urgent care centers provide healthcare services to treat non-emergent medical problems that can develop unexpectedly and require immediate attention, complementing services provided by primary care physicians and hospital emergency rooms. Having urgent care services as part of the TriStar Health system provides a seamless continuum of care for patients and physicians in the communities we serve.

Patients needing a higher level of care may be immediately connected to the broader resources of our healthcare system if a higher level of care is needed.

Locations are open seven days a week from 8 am - 8 pm. Patients may take advantage of Web Check-In(R) at CareNow.com, an innovative and convenient service that reduces waiting in the clinic lobby. Additional conveniences include on-site lab and X-rays.

TriStar Health and CareSpot previously operated the centers through a joint venture formed in 2013. Earlier this year, HCA and TriStar Health announced that they fully acquired the ten urgent care locations in Middle Tennessee. The transition to CareNow aligns Middle Tennessee urgent care services with other HCA urgent care services across the country.
