WellNow Urgent Care was founded in
Big Flats, New York in 2012 as "Five Star Urgent Care" by Dr. John Radford, a former emergency room physician. That same year, the company began offering patients the ability to view wait times for its facilities on its website. In 2016, the company opened another location in
Liverpool, New York. The Liverpool location differs from the other locations because it offers specialized pediatric urgent care in addition to the normal urgent care services. In 2017, WellNow Urgent Care opened one more location in
Vestal, New York. In 2018, the company rebranded as WellNow Urgent Care. In 2022, WellNow acquired 55 Physicians Immediate Care centers and relocated its headquarters to Chicago, Illinois, as a result of further expansion. ==References==
