BayCare is strengthening its long-standing commitment to Plant City with the opening of a new BayCare Urgent Care on March 30, 2026, expanding convenient access to non-emergency and occupational health services in a rapidly growing area.
BayCare Urgent Care (Plant City) will be located in the Ed and Myrtle Lou Swindle Medical Arts Center at 1601 W. Timberlane Drive, and will serve adult patients and children ages six months and older.
“Urgent care plays a vital role in meeting growing community demand for timely, convenient care,” said C. Todd Jones, BayCare’s chief strategy officer and chief ambulatory services officer. “It’s important to ensure we continue to meet patients where they are, providing the right level of care close to home.”
The urgent care opening comes less than two years after BayCare made the extraordinary investment to build a new South Florida Baptist Hospital facility at 3202 N. Park Road off Interstate 4 in Plant City. The new urgent care is less than two miles from where the original hospital stood.
BayCare Urgent Care (Plant City) will treat non-emergency conditions such as minor illnesses and injuries, flu and cold symptoms, sprains, strains, minor cuts, stings and burns. It will also provide school and sports physicals, as well as occupational medicine and workers’ compensation services, an important resource for both residents and local businesses.
The Ed and Myrtle Lou Swindle Medical Arts Center building is also home to a variety of BayCare services supporting the community’s care: BayCare Medical Group Primary Care (Plant City), South Florida Baptist Hospital Pediatric Outpatient Rehabilitation Center, A Place For Her (Plant City), South Florida Baptist Hospital Outpatient Nutrition and BayCare Metabolic and Bariatric Center.
All BayCare Urgent Care locations accept walk-in patients, but patients can reserve their place in line for care through BayCare’s Save Your Spot tool found here. BayCare Urgent Care (Plant City) will operate Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., and Saturday through Sunday, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
This location marks BayCare’s first urgent care center in Plant City and further strengthens the health system’s commitment to ensuring residents have access to care.
