Urgent Care Centers Have Saturated Some Urban Areas

Urgent care is a booming part of American health care, but the market may be saturated in several places.
Chicago, New York City, Phoenix, and Scottsdale, Ariz., are among the cities where the urgent care market is overbuilt, says Clifford Braff, managing director of the Braff Group, a Chicago brokerage company that represents sellers of urgent care centers and other health care service provider groups.
