Hear From the Founder
The Franchise Opportunity Designed for Healthcare Professionals and Entrepreneurs
Build a successful business while becoming a trusted pillar of your community.
After 15 years as a emergency room Physician Assistant Seth Weathersby, saw the need in his community for a high level Urgent Care Center to provide immediate and accessible care for patients in a convenient, purposefully designed clinic that reflected the exceptional care delivered in an out patient medical setting. Gateway Urgent Care was born out of that vision over 10 years ago. What began as a single independent urgent care center has grown into five thriving locations serving communities throughout Middle Tennessee. The Gateway Urgent Care model has continued be refined and improved consistently over the decade plus of operations presenting the unprecedented model of care, convenience and clinical expertise that patients experience daily and that is now ready to be duplicated into a franchise model.
Through disciplined execution, patient-focused care, and operational excellence, Gateway Urgent Care has demonstrated that independent healthcare organizations can successfully compete and thrive in today’s healthcare environment.
