Membership

The North East Regional Urgent Care Association (NERUCA) is proud to be the first regional chapter of the Urgent Care Association (UCA), combining national advocacy with strong, local representation across our member states:

Connecticut • Maine • Massachusetts • New Jersey • New Hampshire • New York • Pennsylvania • Rhode Island • Vermont

Founded in 2013, NERUCA is committed to advancing urgent care medicine through advocacy, education, and strategic partnerships at the local, state, and regional levels. Our members — urgent care centers, providers, owners, and operators — understand firsthand the practice and business of urgent care. Together, we are a unified voice shaping the future of urgent care in the Northeast.

But that future is under pressure. Across our states, urgent care faces growing challenges from regulators, competitors, and payers seeking to restrict access and control how care is delivered. The implications are real — and they extend beyond state lines.

NERUCA is your voice in these conversations. We empower members to stay informed, connected, and protected, while advocating for a stronger, more sustainable urgent care landscape. We champion the urgent care community, working to safeguard its role in the healthcare system — expanding access, lowering costs, and improving patient outcomes.

Whether you operate a center or care for patients, NERUCA membership connects you to a trusted network, timely policy updates, educational resources, public health initiatives and more.

Support the future of urgent care in the Northeast. Join NERUCA today — because urgent care needs a strong, local voice.
