The Penn Urgent Care South Philadelphia location has closed its doors and Penn plans to reopen the facility in a different capacity. The health organization cites increased use of telemedicine services since COVID-19 as a deciding factor.
The Penn Urgent Care South Philadelphia closed due to more patients increasingly using telemedicine options, a Penn Medicine spokesperson stated.
The urgent care that was located at 1930 S Broad Street closed on June 30. However, Penn plans to continue occupying the space and is planning to open it back up to offer care services they say are “more aligned with patient needs.” “This step came as we evaluated patient preference and utilization patterns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased use of the telemedicine options for issues which are often addressed in urgent care settings,” a Penn Medicine spokesperson said.
