Hillcrest HealthCare System's parent company, Ardent Health Services, acquired 12 urgent care clinics across eastern Oklahoma from NextCare Urgent Care. These clinics, previously operating as Access Medical Center Urgent Care, are located in various cities including Bartlesville, Claremore, Owasso, Pryor, Skiatook, Stillwater, and Tulsa. All existing employees at these locations will join the Hillcrest team. The acquisition is aimed at expanding Hillcrest's urgent care offerings to provide more convenient access to care for minor illnesses and injuries. The clinics will offer walk-in care, x-ray imaging, occupational health services, workers' compensation assessments, and testing for common illnesses. These clinics are expected to be integrated into Ardent Health's Epic EHR system, and the clinics will be renamed and rebranded under the Hillcrest name after the integration is completed in the summer of 2025.
