What is a free standing clinic?

A free-standing clinic is a healthcare facility that operates independently from a hospital or larger medical institution. These clinics provide a range of services, including primary care, urgent care, and specialized treatments, often with extended hours and a focus on convenience for patients. They are typically designed to offer lower-cost services and may not require appointments, making healthcare more accessible. Free-standing clinics are often found in community settings, shopping centers, or urban areas.
