Catawba Valley Health System (CVHS) has announced a partnership with Urgent
Care of Mountain View (UCMV) to open two new locations in Catawba County.
The locations will be in Sherrills Ford and in the Belle Hollow shopping
center in the Viewmont section of North Hickory.
The Sherrills Ford urgent care, with a target date of opening in early
March, will operate out of the existing CVHS facility that currently features
its Catawba Valley Family Medicine – Sherrills Ford family practice,
although it will be separate from that family practice and feature different
hours. The Viewmont location sits beside Fleet Feet Sports in the Belle
Hollow shopping center.
Urgent Care of Mountain View has been providing fast, affordable, and professional
care with a personal touch to the Mountain View community since 2011 and
has four existing locations in Hickory, Morganton, Newton, and Taylorsville.
Specializing in the treatment of illnesses and injuries, they offer comprehensive
Occupational Medicine and Workers' Compensation services including
drug screens, X-rays, DOT physicals, TB testing, and more, supporting
both small and large businesses alike.
“Expansion into Urgent Care is a key piece of our growth strategy,”
said Dennis Johnson, CVHS president and CEO. “Urgent Care of Mountain
View is the perfect partner because of its sterling reputation for providing
fast, efficient and professional care with quality and compassion.”
He added that if a patient’s needs go beyond what urgent care provides,
Catawba Valley Health System, its medical center and its 24 primary and
specialty care practices will partner to provide that extended care.
Brian Bechtol, CEO of Urgent Care of Mountain View, said, “We are
excited to partner with Catawba Valley Medical Center! Partnering with
them will allow urgent care to expand its footprint to meet the better
needs of the community in the greater Catawba Valley region."
