What AFC Urgent Care Tennessee does

AFC Urgent Care Tennessee operates a network of 12+ walk-in urgent care clinics across East Tennessee and Northwest Georgia, providing episodic medical care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries as a lower-cost alternative to emergency rooms and a more accessible option than primary care physicians when appointments are unavailable. The company was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee, operating under the American Family Care (AFC) brand umbrella. Clinical services include sick visits, digital X-rays (using digital radiography with 80% lower radiation than traditional systems), on-site laboratory testing with results in as little as 10 minutes, rapid COVID-19 testing, flu vaccinations, STD testing, sports physicals, travel medicine, and orthopedic care. The clinics are open seven days a week with extended hours, and an average visit is completed in approximately one hour at an average bill of $150 — about one-third the cost of an emergency room visit.

The company's revenue model combines fee-for-service urgent care visits (with a flat $165 self-pay rate for uninsured patients), a recurring subscription membership program (myAFC) priced at $79-$149/month for individuals and families, and B2B occupational health services for employers and government entities including pre-employment physicals, DOT physicals, drug testing, workers' compensation treatment, and specialty exams. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer through physical clinic locations, supported by telemedicine for members, dedicated Business Development Managers for the employer channel, and community outreach programs including free health screenings. Go-to-market is hybrid: consumer walk-in traffic for B2C and targeted B2B sales for occupational health contracts.

The business operates with a lean corporate team of 11-50 employees overseeing the multi-location footprint, which is consistent with a regional operator/franchisee structure within the larger AFC national network. Key leadership includes President Dave Adams and Medical Director Dr. Todd Rudolph. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or acquisition history, and operates as part of the broader American Family Care brand.
