Solantic Baptist Opens 13th North Florida Location
Beach and Hodges Location to Offer High-Speed Wireless Internet Access

Jacksonville, Florida, May 27, 2010 -- Solantic Baptist Urgent Care announced today the opening of its newest center in the Walmart Supercenter Plaza at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Hodges Boulevard.

This brings the total number of Solantic Baptist North Florida centers to 13, including a dedicated occupational health facility located on the Westside. This is the 34th Solantic walk-in urgent care center statewide.

The center address is 13460 Beach Boulevard. Center hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends. Appointments are never needed, but patients can register online and receive a call or text message when the doctor is ready to see them or call ahead to be placed in the patient queue in advance of their arrival.

The 3,000-square-foot Beach and Hodges center is the second new facility to open since Solantic and Baptist became joint venture partners earlier this year and is the first to feature wireless internet access and a new digital menu board.

"We're always looking for ways to enhance the patient experience by offering locations and services that improve our patients' comfort and convenience," said Solantic CEO Karen Bowling. "This newest center is in a highly populated area and brings needed resources to the large number of people who live or work in the area. Plus, the free wireless internet access feature should be very appealing to those who need to stay connected, even when they may not be feeling well."

Solantic Baptist Urgent Care offers call-ahead and online registration options; $5 prescriptions, digital x-rays and lab services on-site; separate kids' waiting rooms; flat-screen televisions in exam rooms; and a Three-Day Feel Better Guarantee.
