Representing a quarter of the U.S. population, there are more than 83 million Millennials (those born between 1982 and 2000) in the U.S., surpassing the number of Baby Boomers alive today by nearly eight million people. They’ve grown up in a digital age and want different things when it comes to accessing health care.
A PNC Healthcare study last year found that Millennials are twice as likely as Baby Boomers to prefer retail clinics and acute care facilities for speed and efficient healthcare delivery. More than a quarter of Millennials say that they do not have a primary care provider. They value convenience, availability, cost and speed over a relationship with a health care provider.
OSF HealthCare has launched OSF Urgo, a new, modern urgent care, which is designed to meet the wants and needs of individuals and families who are not yet ready or willing to connect to a health care system through a traditional physician-patient relationship. The term “Urgo” is derived from urgent care for people on the go.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
