UF Health St. Johns opens two urgent care centers in St. Johns County, expanding access to convenient care

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — UF Health St. Johns announces the opening of two urgent care centers in St. Augustine, expanding access to fast, comprehensive for patients and families in MuraBella, near World Golf Village, and on the UF Health Flagler Hospital campus.

UF Health Urgent Care’s two locations are intended to be residents’ new go-to clinics for reliable, high-quality care on their schedule — designed to get patients seen, cared for, and on their way quickly, by doctors and nurse practitioners with world-class expertise.

Providers can treat a wide variety of conditions, from allergies, headaches, and cold symptoms to nose bleeds, sprains, and minor fractures. Both locations offer on-site diagnostics so patients can receive X-rays and EKGs conveniently in the same facility, along with other important preventive health and health screenings for conditions like strep, COVID-19, and STIs.

“Urgent care facilities fill an important need in the community. Our teams care for those who are ill and can’t wait to be seen by their general practitioner, or for those with non-life-threatening injuries who need care for conditions such as fractures, burn, or lacerations immediately,” said David A. Cabezas, M.D., medical director of urgent care for UF Health St. Johns. “Our team of dedicated health care professionals are prepared to help each patient who walks in the door and provide effective and evidence-based care to meet to their needs.”

Both the UF Health Flagler Hospital and MuraBella locations are open now and accepting patients, including for initial primary care and preventive health services. The urgent care practices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and weekends 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“Our goal is to bring responsive, compassionate care to patients in St. Augustine and nearby regions so they can get back to good health in less time,” said Jon Cooper, chief strategy officer for UF Health St. Johns. “These urgent care offerings are another step toward ensuring access to comprehensive care for every member of our community.”
