The reason is simple: Kadlec is meeting community demand. Kadlec has offered medical services throughout the Tri-Cities in many ways, through primary and specialty care physician clinics, urgent care centers, and now this new model of emergency care. Looking at the community’s continued population growth, it is apparent that the current available emergency services are not enough to meet the demand.
As the population of a community grows, hospital-based emergency departments become overcrowded. Congestion in Emergency Departments put additional stress on both hospital and emergency services. Freestanding ER’s help to relieve that stress while also offering faster care.
