Baptist Health announced Thursday (Jan. 2) it will open three new urgent care locations in early 2025 in Cabot, Conway and North Little Rock.

Both Conway and Cabot centers will open on January 20. The new center in Conway will be Baptist Health Urgent Care’s (BHUC) third center in that city and will be located on Oak St. across from Tacos4Life. The new center in Cabot will be located on W. Main St. across from the Walmart Supercenter and will be BHUC’s second center in that city. The third BHUC center in North Little Rock will open in mid-February on John F. Kennedy Blvd., across from Scoop Dog.

“Although Baptist Health Urgent Care already has centers in these cities, we’ve recognized a continued demand for walk-in urgent and family care that is available seven days a week,” said Mike Dupuis, Urgent Team Division Vice President for Baptist Health Urgent Care. “These new locations will address the growing on-demand healthcare needs in these communities. Our mission remains to provide accessible, high-quality care, delivered by skilled and compassionate healthcare teams.”

The centers are open seven days a week and offer evening hours during the work week. For added convenience, walk-ins are welcome or patients can plan a same or next day visit online with or reserve a telemedicine visit.

Some of the non-life-threatening health conditions and injuries that can be treated at urgent centers include:

• Asthma and allergies
• Flu, colds, viral illnesses
• Bites, stings, allergic reactions
• Broken bones, sprains, strains
• COVID-19 testing and vaccination
• Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting
• Urinary tract infections
• Medically supervised weight loss
• Ear and eye injuries
• Skin conditions, including burns
• Stitches
• School, sports, wellness and DOT physicals
• Immunizations and vaccinations
• Occupational health services

Baptist Health Urgent Care, with 20 locations in Arkansas, is a joint venture between Baptist Health and Urgent Team Family of Urgent Care & Walk-in Centers, one of the largest independent operators of urgent and family care centers in the Southeast.
