BEST URGENT/IMMEDIATE-CARE MEDICAL CLINIC

Catherine Grant, MSPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA
Founder and CEO of ExperCARE Health

For Catherine Grant and her team at ExperCARE Health, constant change is the key to their success. When Grant set out to start a health clinic in 2009, her primary goal was to create a better model and experience for both healthcare professionals and patients when it comes to urgent care.

Fourteen years later, with five current locations in the region, it’s safe to say she met the mark — and then some.

“We wanted to create a more seamless transaction for people so that it fits into their lifestyle,” says Grant. “People don’t want to have to make an appointment weeks ahead of time. They want to be able to walk in when they have a need and get it taken care of and use their insurance and feel like they’re not compromising quality because of convenience.”

To receive care at any ExperCARE Health facility, patients can either schedule a same-day appointment from their phone or computer, or simply walk into any of the five locations to receive care. From providing basic routine care to more extensive testing, such as X-rays and electrocardiograms (EKGs), ExperCARE Health is a one-stop shop for those looking for quick, reliable health care that fits into any busy lifestyle.

When visiting an ExperCARE Health location, expect to be talking to a physician within 15 minutes of arriving. And over 90% of any diagnostic testing needed can be done onsite. Patients can even follow up with an ExperCARE Health physician like they would any other provider. “We’ll stick with them and be their primary contact until they have someone else,” says Grant. “At the end of the day, we want people to know that we’re here for them, no matter what.”

Grant’s next goal? ExperCARE Health is set to open two more locations in Georgia, one in Hinesville and another in Rincon, by year’s end.

ExperTIPS – Firework Safety – 7 Tips to Keep You and Your Family Safe

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Firework Safety: Tips to Keep You and Your Loved Ones Safe

Fireworks are a popular way to celebrate many occasions, from Independence Day to New Year’s Eve. However, they can also be dangerous if not handled properly. Here are 7 tips to keep you and your loved ones safe while enjoying fireworks:

1. Follow the Law

Before purchasing or setting off fireworks, make sure you are following all local laws and regulations. Some areas prohibit fireworks altogether, while others have specific rules about when and where they can be used.

2. Keep a Safe Distance

Always keep a safe distance from fireworks when they are being set off. A good rule of thumb is to stay at least 500 feet away from any fireworks display.

3. Wear Protective Gear

Wearing protective gear, such as safety glasses and earplugs, can help prevent injuries from fireworks. It’s also a good idea to wear long sleeves and pants to protect your skin.

4. Never Relight a Dud

If a firework doesn’t go off, don’t try to relight it. Wait at least 20 minutes and then soak it in water before disposing of it.

5. Keep Water Nearby

Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby in case of a fire. It’s also a good idea to have a fire extinguisher on hand.

6. Don’t Drink and Light

Never set off fireworks while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This can impair your judgment and increase the risk of injury.

7. Supervise Children

Children should never handle fireworks without adult supervision. Even sparklers can be dangerous and cause serious burns.

By following these tips, you can enjoy fireworks safely and avoid injuries. Remember, safety comes first when it comes to fireworks.
