What is Crucial Care?

Crucial Care is a unique concept that is changing the way emergency care is delivered to patients. We believe that if we provide the right care in the right place at the right time, it will be at the right price.

Like an emergency room, Crucial Care is staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians. We treat for a wide range of cases from the common cold to high-acuity conditions. Crucial Care provides on site access to ultrasound, CT scan, IV fluids, digital x-ray, diagnostic labs, comprehensive diagnostics, blood work, and imaging all under one roof.

Pathfinder Care Orchestration: What is Pathfinder?
Pathfinder is what we call or system that helps patients get the care they need, including at another healthcare resource. Healthcare is complicated, and we care so much that we guide our patients to the resources they need, even after they leave Crucial Care.

Where We Serve

Jacksonville

Orlando

Tampa (Coming Soon)

Crucial Care operates in three Florida markets: Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa. Our original location and central office is located in Jacksonville (Quality Emergency Group or QEG).

In 2014, GuideWell Mutual Holding Corporation (GuideWell) contracted with us to begin opening locations in Orlando under the brand GuideWell Emergency Doctors. When Crucial Care joined forces with GuideWell, we accelerated the spread of our high quality emergency experience across Florida.

Today, Crucial Care and GuideWell Emergency Doctors continue to provide emergency medicine at one-third the cost of a hospital ER, and by leveraging Pathfinder, we continue to help patients avoid unnecessary hospital admissions. Our success continues as we prepare to launch more facilities in Central Florida and in the Tampa Bay region in 2021.
