Leading Healthcare Provider Continues Growth to Better Serve Patients in North Alabama

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- American Family Care (AFC), American Family Care (AFC), the nation's leading provider of urgent care, accessible primary care, and occupational medicine, today announced the acquisition of all three Urgent Medcare locations, which were previously owned by CRH Healthcare. The acquired medical facilities are located in Huntsville, Madison, and Meridianville, Alabama. The acquisition bolsters AFC's leadership position in the greater Huntsville market and, now with 45 clinics across Alabama, extends the company's leadership position in the state.

"We opened our first medical facility in Huntsville back in 2000. Ever since, the greater Huntsville area has been an important market for us, so we are excited to be able to serve the healthcare needs of even more patients in the area through the acquisition of these clinics," said Randy Johansen, AFC's Chief Executive Officer. "Now, with nine convenient locations across North Alabama, patients have access to high-quality, convenient care close to wherever they live, work, and shop," continued Johansen.

AFC is on track to open more than 40 new locations in 2024, with this acquisition serving to accelerate that pace.
