Stamford, CT (Nov. 13, 2026) – Yale New Haven Health (YNHHS) today celebrated the opening of a new Urgent Care center in Stamford, expanding access to convenient, high-quality care for residents throughout Fairfield County and neighboring Westchester County.
Located at 2000 West Main Street, the new 3,500-square-foot Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care center features seven exam rooms, on-site laboratory services with same-day testing capabilities, and a dedicated team of clinical and support professionals. Designed to provide timely care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, the facility offers patients a comfortable, efficient healthcare experience close to home. The center is less than six miles from Yale New Haven Health’s Greenwich Hospital.
The Stamford location joins Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care's growing network of more than 20 centers across Connecticut and New York, with an additional location planned for New Canaan next year.
“As healthcare continues to evolve, easy access to care has never been more important,” said Pamela Sutton-Wallace, acting chief executive officer, Yale New Haven Health. “The opening of our Stamford Urgent Care center reflects our commitment to meeting patients where they are by providing trusted, high-quality care that is both convenient and connected to the broader Yale New Haven Health system.”
Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care centers provide treatment for a wide range of non- emergency conditions, including minor injuries such as cuts, sprains, strains and burns; pediatric illnesses and injuries; ear, eye and respiratory infections; and seasonal illnesses such as influenza. Centers also offer school, camp and sports physicals, X-rays for fractures and other injuries and care for many urgent medical needs that do not require an emergency department visit.
“This new center strengthens our ability to provide immediate care while ensuring patients remain connected to the comprehensive resources of Yale New Haven Health,” said Jeannie Kenkare, DO, president of Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care. “Whether a patient needs follow-up with a primary care provider, specialist or telehealth clinician, we can help coordinate that care seamlessly.”
In addition to in-person services, Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care offers locally staffed telehealth care available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, giving patients access to experienced clinicians whenever and wherever they need care. The service supports continuity of care through communication with primary care physicians and coordination with specialists when appropriate.
The Stamford Urgent Care center is open 8 am to 8 pm weekdays and 9 am to 5 pm weekends and holidays. Patients can walk in, reserve a visit online or schedule a virtual telehealth appointment. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and affordable self-pay options are available.
