Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Eighteen Velocity Urgent Care centers in Virginia will be rebranded as Â鶹ÊÓƵ Urgent Care on February 3. The branding change has been in the works since Â鶹ÊÓƵ assumed full ownership of Velocity in December of 2023. Adoption of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Epic electronic medical record took place in August of 2024. The transition to Â鶹ÊÓƵ signage is underway.

“This branding process brings us full circle back to Â鶹ÊÓƵ,” said Kurt Hofelich, vice president of ambulatory services for Â鶹ÊÓƵ “We’re glad to have Â鶹ÊÓƵ Urgent Care back in the family.”

In 2017, Â鶹ÊÓƵ entered its five Hampton Roads-based urgent care centers into a partnership with Velocity Urgent Care. The agreement was for Velocity to grow and improve the service line. They grew the chain into 18 centers throughout Virginia. Another will soon open in Elizabeth City, N.C.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ Urgent Care offers a convenient alternative to emergency departments for minor injuries and illnesses. More than 200 Velocity professionals are now employees of Â鶹ÊÓƵ

“Â鶹ÊÓƵ Urgent Care will provide our patients with a seamless connection to Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Epic EMR,” said Barbara Smith, vice president of operations for Â鶹ÊÓƵ Urgent Care. “Being part of Â鶹ÊÓƵ promotes patient safety and continuity of care. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is one of the most respected names in health care and we’re happy to be a part of it.”
