What First Care Clinics does

First Care Clinics, now operating under the legal and trade name Fast Pace Health, is a privately held, for-profit healthcare services company that delivers walk-in urgent care, primary care, and specialty medical services through a network of physical clinics supplemented by telehealth. The company serves individual patients seeking non-appointment acute care, patients requiring ongoing primary and chronic-disease management, behavioral health and dermatology patients, pediatric patients, and employers needing occupational health services. Per available data, the network spans 300+ locations across eight states (Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee), with corporate headquarters listed at a Franklin, Tennessee address.

Its core delivery model combines physical walk-in clinics equipped with multiple exam rooms, on-site laboratory testing, and digital x-ray imaging, with nurse practitioners on site seven days a week and extended night and weekend hours. A telehealth platform extends access to urgent care, primary care, behavioral health, and dermatology virtually. Service lines include in-clinic and telehealth urgent care, in-clinic and virtual primary care, behavioral health (depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD), in-clinic and virtual dermatology, orthopedic care, occupational health (DOT physicals, workers' compensation), vaccines and immunizations, and a medical referral platform.

The business monetizes through multiple revenue streams: commercial insurance reimbursements for covered urgent, primary, and specialty services; upfront office-visit fees under a self-pay program for uninsured patients; subscription-based individual and family membership programs; employer membership programs positioned as a low-cost employee benefit (as little as $0 per employee); and employer-paid occupational health services. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-in access, online scheduling, state-specific location pages, and telehealth, alongside direct sales to employers. The company operates through several state-level legal entities (e.g., Fast Pace Medical Clinic, PLLC; Fast Pace Kentucky, PLLC; Fast Pace Mississippi, PLLC; Calcasieu Urgent Care, LLC) and additional specialty brands including Christian Family Medicine & Pediatrics, Kids Are Special, and Reelfoot Family Walk-In Clinic. Specific pricing amounts are not publicly disclosed.
