The South Kansas City CareSpot is a 3,500-square-foot facility located in State Line Station, near 135^th and State Line Road.

"A sixth location in the Kansas City area continues to improve on our goal of providing a variety of locations that are convenient and close to where people live and work. Our extended hours 7 days a week work well with families' busy lifestyles," said Paul Dickison, Vice President of Marketing for CareSpot. "Additional locations provide more convenient urgent care options for everyone in the broader region. Also, our joint venture partnership with the well-respected HCA Midwest Health system is a helpful option with a large hospital and physician network if CareSpot patients need specialized or follow-up care nearby."
