The rise in the number of UCCs in the U.S. has provided various benefits to healthcare professionals and patients. A major shift from conventional hospitals or clinics to UCCs has been observed in the country in recent years.

Patients receive immediate care and treatment at these centers, as they are easy to access, which is expected to drive the demand for UCCs across the country.
