Mainstreet Family Care Launches Alachua Clinic

ALACHUA ‒ When medical care is needed, it often isn’t expected. Alachua area residents now have another option for quick treatment of minor illnesses or mild conditions that don’t necessarily require an emergency room visit. MainStreet Family Care opened its doors on July 10, 2024, and held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 23, 2024. The facility is located at 16314 N.W. U.S. Hwy 441, next to Santa Fe Ford.

The Alachua location is the company’s 63rd facility in the country, with operations in four states — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. “We are happy to be here to serve all of Alachua’s medical needs,” said MainStreet Family Care Sr. Marketing Coordinator Erica Dunn. The facility will be staffed by six medical care professionals, three for each shift, plus an operations manager. Regional Marketing Coordinator Shelby Womack added, “We look forward to serving the Alachua community and neighborhoods.”

City of Alachua elected officials and staff, members of the Alachua Chamber of Commerce, and local business owners attended the ceremony, which started at 9 a.m., followed by a facility tour and light refreshments. Individuals helping MainStreet Family Care staff cut the ceremonial ribbon included Alachua Mayor Gib Coerper and Alachua Chamber President Adam Boukari.

“We welcome MainStreet Family Care to Alachua and to the Alachua Chamber of Commerce,” said Boukari, noting that the business had already become a member of the Chamber. Mayor Coerper echoed Boukari’s comments, adding, “They will be providing a great resource for medical care to our community.”

MainStreet Family Care offers primary care, urgent care, vaccines, lab tests, and x-rays, as well as school and sports physicals. The facility is open seven days a week – Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments are not required, and patients can register online. They accept most major insurance programs, Medicare and Medicaid, and also offer a self-pay option.

With the opening of this new facility, Alachua residents now have greater access to convenient and timely medical care, ensuring that minor health issues can be addressed quickly and efficiently without the need for emergency room visits.
