The buyer, MultiCare Health System, is a not-for-profit health care organization with a comprehensive network including 15 Urgent Care Centers in the Puget Sound region as well as 11 RediClinics located inside select Rite Aid stores and has added Immediate Clinic as part of its urgent care growth strategy.

Michael Dalton, President and CEO of Immediate Clinic, added that, "We are excited to pass the torch to MultiCare and are confident that they will be able to combine their resources with our amazing team of leaders and caregivers to make these state-of-the-art urgent care clinics even better."
