Description
Teresa Keenan and co-authors report poll results from two thousand twenty-four on where older Americans get health care. Urgent care centers, retail clinics, and other sites outside the usual doctor office have grown fast. A national poll asked adults aged fifty to eighty about their use of these sites and their views on them.
About sixty percent had used such a site in the past two years, most often urgent care. Use was higher among younger respondents, women, and those with higher incomes. Most users still had their own regular doctor, and many told that doctor about the visit. The top reasons were to avoid the emergency room and to get a vaccine, test, or exam. Most said they would likely use such a site again.
