MedExpress closes Fort Collins, Longmont locations

MedExpress, a national chain of urgent-care centers, has closed all of its Colorado locations, including its Fort Collins and Longmont branches.

In a statement, the West Virginia-based company said the decision to close the three branches was a “very difficult decision” but did not explain why it shut down those locations.

“We remain grateful to our Colorado medical teams and staff for their dedicated efforts, as well as local residents for allowing us the opportunity to deliver care,” the company said.

MedExpress operated at 110 E. Boardwalk Drive in Fort Collins’ midtown area and at 601 Main St. in Longmont. Its other location was in Glendale, a southeast suburb of Denver.

The chain of care centers is a subsidiary of Optum Inc., a pharmacy benefits manager that is in turn owned by UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH).
