Partnership was the theme of the day as leaders from UF Health, the city of Gainesville, and Alachua County gathered on Wednesday to mark the opening of the UF Health Urgent Care Center - Eastside with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It is a 9,000-square-foot facility equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and spaces, including eight examination rooms, two procedure rooms, an X-ray area, laboratory services, and a community room available for meetings and gatherings. The center will be open seven days a week, with extended week-day evening hours.
