HOUSTON, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Memorial Hermann-GoHealth Urgent Care has tripled its footprint in the last 12 months and is now Greater Houston's largest urgent and on-demand care network.

Monday, Memorial Hermann-GoHealth opened its 29^th location as three Prime Urgent Care locations transitioned to the network.
