Over the 12-month period ending June 15, 2025, 29% of urgent care patients were children and young adults aged 21 years or younger, while 71% were patients aged 22 years or older, according to an exclusive analysis of 35 million patient visits recorded in the Experity EMR.
Further, the chart demonstrates the age breakdown of the population of children and young adults who visited urgent care. This analysis omits visits for employer-paid services and workersÂ
compensation and does not include patients registered in other Experity systems during the time period.
Additionally, it’s important to note that some urgent care centers do not provide care for pediatric patients less than a certain age—such as under the age of 12 months or in some cases, under the age of 2 years. Many newborns and infants may already be under the care of a pediatrician, and parents may default to a children’s hospital emergency room for immediate concerns.
