Portland, OR — American Family Care (AFC), the nation’s largest provider of urgent care, accessible primary care, and occupational medicine, is pleased to announce its newest clinic in Cedar Mill. The new clinic on NW Cedar Falls Drive across from Market of Choice on Barnes Rd. opens to patients in the fall of this year.
“We are eager to open this clinic in Cedar Mill and serve the families in this growing NW Portland community,” says Guru Sankar, Managing Partner of Oregon’s six AFC locations. “As with our other clinics, Cedar Mill will provide accessible and affordable health care all seven days of the week. We also recognize that some clinics require appointments, but patients don’t necessarily need an appointment to be seen with us.” Sankar also added, “because of demand, we recently added telehealth. Telehealth is great for many services and can be accessed by patients anywhere they have access to a smartphone or laptop. Ultimately the goal is to accommodate new patients as well as make it more convenient for existing patients.”
AFC has been growing since 2011 when it opened its first local clinic in Lake Oswego – with subsequent clinics in NW Portland, NE Portland, Beaverton, Oregon City, and Hillsboro. In addition to appointment based and walk-in urgent care, AFC operates a Portland based Telehealth clinic and is one of the regions’ largest providers of US Customs Immigration Services (USCIS) medical exams for those seeking permanent residency in the US. AFC accepts dozens of insurance plans and offers Primary Care, women’s health, sports physicals, occupational health, and work injury care.
