MedExpress Opens 25th Center in Pennsylvania

MedExpress Urgent Care strengthened its position as Pennsylvania's patient-centered urgent care provider today when it opened its newest center in Millcreek Township.

MedExpress, which opened a center in Meadville last year, employs more than 650 people in Pennsylvania and treated more than 400,000 people in the state. The Millcreek Township MedExpress, at 5039 Peach Street in Erie, will be open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.

"At MedExpress, we are committed to exceeding patient expectations every day," said MedExpress CEO Frank Alderman, MD. "We do this by delivering timely, affordable, high-quality urgent care at all of our centers. Our newest location allows us to bring our services to Erie, and we look forward to offering great care to the community."

MedExpress strives to coordinate care within the local medical community in order to streamline entry, support best practices and ensure high-quality patient outcomes.

"We recognize that patients may need specialty care and follow up," said Dr. Alderman. "By coordinating care with other healthcare providers, we know that we are doing what is best for our patients."

There is always a physician on duty, supported by a full medical team. MedExpress is dedicated to providing patients the highest level of quality health care in a comfortable environment.
