Dr. Stephanie’s decision to open EveryCare Express Clinic in February 2015 was fueled by her experience in pediatrics. After 5pm, having a sick child meant a lengthy local ER for illnesses that could be handled in a clinic. Too frequently, the ER was the only option for busy families. Many families she encountered had a difficult time getting in to see their provider Monday through Friday during conventional clinic hours. Stephanie’s motivation was to increase access to quality healthcare, especially to those that are underserved.
