HISTORY

Much of daily health care activity involves patients seeking medical attention for minor illnesses, infections, broken bones, sprains, immunizations, and physicals.

Traditionally, those seeking treatment for less acute conditions often experience extended waits for a primary care physician appointment, long wait times with an appointment, or overcrowded emergency rooms, which are best suited to care for more seriously ill patients.

In response to this dilemma, Solantic walk-in urgent care was co-founded in Jacksonville, Florida in 2001 by health care veterans Rick Scott and Karen Bowling to provide convenient, affordable care while filling the gap between primary physician care and emergency room services. Applying industry best practices and lessons learned from research into some of the country’s most successful retailers, the Solantic model was founded in 2001.

Derived from "South on the Atlantic," Solantic is a name that is fast becoming synonymous with convenient, fairly priced healthcare in Florida. From day one, Solantic has offered complete pricing transparency with all prices set forth on a Starbucks-style menu board for all to see. Our aesthetically pleasing, patient-focused centers are staffed by board-certified physicians and a full complement of medical professionals who offer urgent care services (treatment of broken bones, sprains, infections and other minor illnesses), wellness services (comprehensive disease/medical condition blood tests, physicals, immunizations and A La Carte services), and workers’ compensation and occupational medicine services.

Since opening its first four centers in 2002 in Northeast Florida, Solantic has grown to
more than 30 centers located throughout the state of Florida.
