Parrish Healthcare Expands Access to Care with Same-Day and Next-Day Primary Care Appointments

TITUSVILLE, FLA. (October 16, 2025)—Parrish Healthcare is making it easier for patients to see a doctor when they need one most. Beginning immediately, patients can schedule same-day and next-day appointments with their Parrish Medical Group primary care provider. These appointments are designed for those who need timely medical attention but do not require urgent care or emergency room services.

This new offering is part of Parrish Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to providing convenient, patient-centered care. By increasing appointment availability, they aim to reduce non-emergent visits to the Emergency Department, improve patient access and ensure community members can get the care they need, when they need it.

“Health concerns don’t always happen on a predictable schedule,” said George Mikitarian, President and CEO of Parrish Healthcare. “By offering same-day and next-day appointments within our Parrish Medical Group Primary Care practices, we’re helping patients who may be sick due to cold or flu, or other illness, receive timely, quality care without having to go to an urgent care center or the emergency room. With this expansion in care access, our goal is simple: make finding care easier, less expensive, faster and more convenient for the people we serve.”

Same-day and next-day primary care appointments are ideal for patients who are experiencing non-emergency medical needs but may require more prompt attention to health concerns or don’t have the flexibility to schedule a primary care appointment weeks in advance. Parrish Medical Group Primary Care providers can assist with the following medical needs and more:

• Minor illnesses including cold, flu, sore throat or ear infections
• Minor injuries including sprains, strains, minor cuts or burns
• Prescription refills and questions regarding medications
• Routine follow-ups for existing health conditions
• Preventive care needs
