Welcome to the Urgent Care Cafe!

What is the Urgent Care Cafe?
The Urgent Care Cafe is your go-to spot to connect with fellow professionals in the field of Urgent Care. It's a relaxed, friendly environment where you can share the daily challenges you face and brainstorm solutions together. Think of it as a supportive community where we all learn and grow from each other's experiences. Plus, it's a fantastic opportunity to meet and network with like-minded colleagues!

How long is the Urgent Care Cafe open?
The Cafe opens its doors once a day for a 45-minute session. Each table will focus on a different topic, such as growth, staffing, leadership, or clinical treatments. This ensures that every session is fresh, relevant, and packed with valuable insights.

How does the Urgent Care Cafe operate?
When the Cafe is open, simply grab a seat at any table and dive into the conversation. Every 15 minutes, a gentle ring will signal the chance to switch tables and join a new discussion. Each table will be hosted by a speaker who will kick off the conversation. The atmosphere is dynamic and open, just like a lively chat at your favorite cafe.
