The following table summarizes the 100 largest urgent care operators by number of locations as of April 1, 2025, based on data provided by National Urgent Care Realty and Urgent Care Consultants.
Because of the significant number of private operators that also operate facilities with hospital partners, the list delineates health-system-affiliated locations. Duplication is avoided by placing joint venture centers under the operating partner. Data is reported by the parent entity as opposed to regional brands, partnerships, or affiliations.
Of the nation’s 14,442 urgent care centers, 5,722 (40%) are operated by a top 100 entity. Additionally, 56% of the locations in Urgent Care’s Top 100 participate in a hospital affiliation, compared to 40% of all centers. A hospital affiliation may include majority or minority equity joint ventures, management-only contracts, clinical network integration, branding or cobranding agreements, or other engagement that is marketed to the public. To avoid duplication, affiliated centers are reported under the “private” entity, separate from centers operated by the health system directly.
Because there are several ties in the rankings—multiple operators with an equal number of locations—the total number of operators in Urgent Care’s Top 100 this year is 101.
