Dr. Jane Sennet, medical director at the Advanced Care, explained how the facility is designed to handle severe injuries and critical patients due to the emergency medicine training of its staff. She outlined the facility’s ability to manage conditions that typically lead to lengthy ER visits by offering services such as blood work, IV fluids, and cardiac monitoring. Dr. Sennet emphasized the importance of assessing whether a patient requires immediate emergency care or can be treated at the urgent care, thus providing more efficient medical attention.

The discussion included how the facility differentiates itself from standard urgent care centers by having a full lab and access to radiology services within the same building. This integration allows for comprehensive diagnostics, such as X-rays and CAT scans, accessible immediately on-site. Dr. Sennet also addressed the demographic reach of the urgent care, stating that they serve all age groups, from newborns to the elderly, providing continuity of care through the larger Atlantic Health network.
