Urgent care clinics make going to the doctor a lot easier. Last week, Temple Health opened one in northeast Philadelphia and plans to open others in Jenkintown and Ft. Washington this spring. The clinics offer 7-day-a-week care, including testing and x-rays, done by Temple doctors and nurses. Rick Mankin, the CEO of Temple Physicians Inc., says, "We have the same walk-in access (as ERs), but we can often treat them without an appointment and get them home within a half hour to an hour."
