Urgent-care centers are not new to the Philadelphia region, but there has been a burst of activity since last fall. In Southeastern Pennsylvania, Temple has recently opened two urgent-care centers, in Northeast Philadelphia and Jenkintown, and plans a third this summer in Fort Washington. "It's certainly our strategy to place more of these in strategic areas," said Larry Kaiser, CEO of Temple University Health System.
