Solantic’s newest urgent care center is open for business at 4498 Hendricks Avenue at the San Jose Boulevard split in the Miramar neighborhood. It’s our first urgent care clinic to open since Solantic joined Baptist Health, Northeast Florida’s largest hospital system, in January.

The new Hendricks Avenue Solantic urgent care center offers immediate healthcare services for sudden illnesses or unexpected injuries including workers’ comp injuries and sports injuries. The clinic, housed in remodeled former convenience store, also offers a range of non-urgent healthcare and medical services such as wellness screenings, blood work, X-rays, pre-op physicals, drug screenings, immunizations, DOE physicals, insurance physicals, school and sports physicals, blood pressure tests, cholesterol screening, occupational medicine and OSHA respiratory physicals.

Our Hendricks urgent care clinic is high tech not just terms of our state-of-the-art medical equipment, but in comfort features including three large flat-screen televisions in our waiting and examination rooms for patients to watch while they wait to see one of our board-certified physicians; a children’s area to keep little ones playfully occupied; and a computer monitor that allows patients to check their wait times. Patients also can register online and receive a text message on their cell phones when it’s time for their exam. This allows patients to choose whether to wait in our waiting room, outside or at a nearby location.

Soon, all North Florida Solantic urgent care clinics will be known as Solantic Baptist Urgent Care. The new partnership with Baptist Health means patients now have access to the hospital system that includes five hospitals and more than 40 primary care centers located throughout Northeast Florida if follow-up care is needed. Founded in 2001, Solantic Walk-In Urgent Care has grown to 31 urgent care centers throughout Florida, employing upwards of 530 employees. Twelve Solantic urgent care centers are located in the Northeast Florida region and a 13th is slated to open at the corner of Beach and Hodges boulevards in May.
