Fast Pace Health Celebrates Inaugural “Urgent Care Appreciation Day” with Indiana Governor Mike Braun’s Proclamation

Richmond, IN – September 8, 2025 – Fast Pace Health, a leading provider of accessible and affordable healthcare, proudly announces that Indiana Governor Mike Braun has officially proclaimed September 8, 2025, as “Urgent Care Appreciation Day” throughout the state. This landmark recognition highlights the vital role of urgent care clinics in serving communities, particularly in rural and medically underserved areas.

The proclamation, secured with the support of Fast Pace Health, underscores the core mission of urgent care: to provide timely, compassionate, and efficient medical care for non-life-threatening conditions, injuries, and illnesses. The designation celebrates the dedicated healthcare professionals who serve as the “frontline of community health,” offering an essential alternative to emergency rooms and ensuring continuity of care with convenient hours.

“We are immensely honored that Governor Braun has recognized the invaluable contributions of urgent care providers across Indiana,” said Selena Gurley, MSN, FNP-C, CRHCP, Vice President of Accreditation. “This proclamation is not just for Fast Pace Health; it is a tribute to all urgent care teams who work tirelessly to expand access to high-quality healthcare, especially in our rural communities. It reinforces our commitment to providing accessible, patient-centered services where they are needed most.”

Urgent care services are available on both weekdays and weekends, offering flexible solutions for unexpected health concerns.

“On Urgent Care Appreciation Day, the Urgent Care Association recognizes the vital role Urgent Care Centers play in keeping Hoosiers healthy.  Over the past several years, our field has made tremendous progress in expanding access to high-quality, cost-effective care, making it easier and more convenient for families across Indiana to get the care they need, when they need it.  Urgent Care Centers are proud to be a trusted partner in improving the health and well-being of communities all across Indiana.”
