We get such satisfaction from caring for each patient who walks into our urgent care clinic that kudos aren’t essential. But let’s be honest: Patient notes and reviews like this really make our day! “There are many urgent care clinics in this area and I have to say that this one is my favorite. It’s always clean and the lobby seating is comfortable. That goes a long way when you’re feeling terrible. The staff are always polite and welcoming. If I feel sick, I go to this clinic.” - a Slidell Patient #reviewsmatter #teamwork #urgentcare

The 4th of July is almost always a scorcher and it is easy to lose track of time spent in the sun when you're having fun. So start today off right -- have a plan to seek shade and hydrate at least once every hour.

From all of us at SouthStar Urgent Care, Happy Independence Day! #hydrate #celebratesafely #urgentcare

Together, we can accomplish important work: Like taking care of patients – while we take care of each other. To highlight these efforts, we recently celebrated Team Appreciation Week at SouthStar Urgent Care. The week brought opportunities for light-hearted fun and shared meals as well as for the presentation of meaningful awards for team members. We celebrated each member of the SouthStar team for their unflagging commitment, expertise and the effort that goes into providing care that is personal every day, all year long. On top of that, we offered praise and recognition for team members who earned the “Culture & Values Champion” distinction. Categories included: Quality, Teamwork, Integrity, Humility and Accountability. This semi-annual activity reminds us to always attend to our shared values, which take us beyond the ordinary metrics of a day at work, into meaningful service. Thank you to everyone who participated in the celebrations!

Our brand promise "Care that is personal" was developed to include positive outcomes for our patients AND our team. We believe that to provide the high-quality, compassionate care our patients need, our team members need to be supported, too.

Today is Juneteenth, a time to commemorate this date in 1865, when enslaved Black people in Texas were finally informed of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. We hope you will join us in celebrating Black freedom and resilience today, while recognizing that learning from our imperfect history gives us the opportunity to build a more just and equitable future for all.   Learn more about Juneteenth and African American history and culture on the National Museum of African American History & Culture website: https://nmaahc.si.edu/ or watch this video about the history of Juneteenth from TED-Ed: https://lnkd.in/gH7mfT5c #juneteenth #history

June is dedicated to emphasizing the health and wellbeing of men. Despite all jokes about “man colds,” men commonly postpone a trip to a medical clinic, citing that ‘it’s not that bad’ and hoping the concern will self-resolve. But after seeing thousands of unnecessarily miserable men in our SouthStar Urgent Care clinics we’re here to encourage you to come see us sooner! There’s no need to be tough – especially if it’s going to require medical care eventually, anyway. Be easier on yourself. Let us take care of you. GoSouthStar.com #menshealthmonth #urgentcare #mancold

We’re celebrating Pride Month by reasserting our commitment to caring for and celebrating each person in the LGBTQ community. As employers and health care providers this means we: 1. Recognize the contributions LGBTQ team members make to our organization every day – and have made for many years.    2. Dedicate ourselves to building and maintaining a culture and environment in which everyone is comfortable being their authentic self at work.   3. Acknowledge an additional responsibility to understand and address the health disparities faced by our LGBTQ patients. These disparities are often exacerbated by the challenges LGBTQ individuals face in accessing care.   At SouthStar Urgent Care, we will never discriminate against, refuse care or provide lesser treatment to any individual who comes to us for help. We are united by our compassion, kindness and commitment to providing care that is personal to every one of our patients. GoSouthStar.com #pridemonth #urgentcare #healthcare

We offer lots of ways to provide our clinic teams with feedback. We read and listen to each review -- always wanting to give our patients a 5-star experience. We appreciated this one from a recent SouthStar Urgent Care patient. "I took my daughter here and the receptionist, nurse and FNP were absolutely amazing. I have never been anywhere that every employee I came across was genuinely nice and just so kind! Will definitely be returning!"
