Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

“It is important for patients to have access to the most appropriate level of care, close to home,” Lori Japp, physician assistant and UCHealth vice president of urgent care, said in a prepared statement. “Urgent care locations offer extended and weekend hours, and they are far less expensive than emergency departments. For these reasons, they can be a great option for patients who need same-day, non-emergency care.”
