About American Family Care

American Family Care is leading the healthcare revolution! Our mission is to provide accessibile, affordable healthcare in a kind and caring environment, while respecting the rights of all patients, in an economical manner, at times and places convenient to the patient.
What sets us apart from other urgent care clinics are our on-site technology and services, which include:
Physicians
Digital X-rays
State-of-the-art diagnostic procedures
Electronic medical record keeping
Highly trained teams of doctors, nurses, and support staff
Clinical lab testing
All AFC clinics are designed, equipped, and staffed to provide accessible primary care, urgent care, minor emergency treatment, and occupational medicine.

More than 40 years later, the AFC brand and philosophy have spread to more than 300+ facilities across 29 states, treating nearly three million patients a year. We are proud to stand as one of the most widely-known and admired brands in healthcare and anticipate having more than 500 clinics nationwide in the next 3 years.
