Serving 47,000 patients a year, Newark 24/7 Urgent Care in Delaware is a shining example of how Urgent Care can evolve to meet community needs through innovation and leadership. With services like point-of-care ultrasound and advanced imaging, the center is helping reduce unnecessary ER visits and lighten the load on local hospitals.

In a standout example of grassroots advocacy, Drs. Erin Watson and Jennifer Mink recently welcomed Governor Matthew Meyer, First Lady Lauren Cooksey Meyer and State Treasurer Colleen Davis for a facility tour. The discussion focused on how enhanced Urgent Care models can better serve the “middle sick” population while cutting costs and improving access.

Their leadership is a powerful reminder: advocacy starts locally, and direct engagement with policymakers can drive real change.

Thank you Dr. Mink and Dr. Watson for sharing this event with us and for all the work you do to advocate for Urgent Care!

Advocacy Tip:

Hosting local officials, sharing data-driven outcomes, and highlighting innovative care models are powerful ways to advocate for policy support.
