Hospital-Level Care
Urgent Care Convenience
Why Our High-Acuity Urgent Care Model?
AMM delivers hospital level care with the convenience of urgent care
We partner with healthcare organizations to redefine community-based urgent and acute care
Urgent and Acute Care Spectrum
Our Advantage
- Board-certified emergency medicine physicians at every site
- Moderately-complex on-site laboratory testing
- CT scan, X-ray, ultrasound and ECG diagnostics
- Walk-in friendly and able to function like traditional urgent care
- Shorter wait times than an ED — often under 60 minutes
- Reduced risk of cross-contamination compared to ED settings
- Lower patient out-of-pocket costs
- Approximately 98% of patients treated and sent home
- Designed to treat the 90% of ED patients who do not require admission
Our model gives communities a comprehensive option, bridging the gap between "traditional" urgent care and the emergency department — delivering better outcomes and stronger patient satisfaction through a "one-stop" solution.
Market Opportunity
There is a growing demand for high-quality, efficient urgent care, as well as accessible and effective alternatives to the ED. Across the U.S., this represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for health systems seeking to expand their ambulatory footprint.
AMM has deep experience in identifying high-value markets and developing sites that meet both community needs and system-level strategic goals.
Patient Satisfaction
We provide a one stop solution for standard urgent care conditions, as well as more severe issues that would have previously required patients to go to the ED. This enables 98% of our patients to go directly home in less than half the time and at a fraction of the cost of the ED, leading to high levels of patient satisfaction and loyalty.

We have a long-standing partnership with an emergency medicine provider group to staff and support each location.
