Sentara Health is now the sole owner of Velocity Urgent Care, the Norfolk-based health system announced Monday.
In 2017, Sentara partnered with Velocity and transferred the operations of seven Sentara Urgent Care facilities to its joint venture with Velocity and a third party. Now Sentara, which declined to name the third party, is taking over all of Velocity. Sentara declined to share financial details.
Velocity has 17 urgent care locations in Virginia with nearly 200 employees and has plans to expand to Elizabeth City, North Carolina, early next year.
“This is an exciting opportunity for both Sentara and Velocity Urgent Care to expand and improve access to quality same-day services by offering a more holistic approach for the communities we serve,” Kurt T. Hofelich, Sentara vice president of ambulatory services, said in a statement.
Sentara has about 30,000 employees and 12 hospitals across Virginia and North Carolina. The organization’s health plans division has more than 1.2 million members in Virginia and Florida.
