Founded in 1982 by Dr. Bruce Irwin, American Family Care (AFC) has become a national leader in urgent care and accessible healthcare services. With a commitment to "putting the patient first," AFC provides a faster, more convenient alternative to traditional emergency room visits. Each clinic offers a comprehensive range of services including primary care, minor emergency treatment, occupational medicine, digital X-rays, lab testing, and more—all supported by state-of-the-art diagnostics and electronic medical records. AFC’s efficient model ensures that the average patient visit is completed in about an hour, delivering high-tech, high-touch care that has earned the trust of over six million patients annually.
By the end of 2024, AFC will operate over 400 clinics in 31 states, with plans to surpass 500 locations within five years. As one of the fastest-growing healthcare franchises in the country, AFC presents a robust opportunity for franchisees seeking a scalable, recession-resistant investment in the medical services space. Backed by decades of proven success and a rapidly expanding national footprint, AFC is on track to become one of the most recognized and respected names in urgent care across the United States.
