HUDSON – Dozens of red balloons plus trays of honey-dipped pastries and mini sandwiches welcomed nearly 100 first-day visitors arriving to meet the doctors, nurses and staff on site within the newly opened state-of-the art American Family Care urgent care and walk-in center now occupying the spacious corner suite at Hudson at 3A Flagstone Drive, alongside Dunkin.

“Our mission is simple: to provide accessible, high-quality, and compassionate care when people need it most, for AFC Urgent Care offers not only convenience but a commitment to wellness and support,” said Dr. Ashok Devkota, the leader of the medical team whose associates include highly qualified and experienced Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, X-Ray Techs, Medical Assistants and Medical Receptionists — all professionals passionate for patient care.

Patients there will find no need for appointments to walk in and access the attention of a professional. The new AFC is open seven days for the quick and convenient tending of minor injuries, illnesses, diagnosis and follow ups for all ages. Testing for workplace physicals and vaccinations are available.

Susheel Paudel, Executive Director, Dr. Ashok Devkota, Medical Director, and Umesh Paneru, Business Development Director, jointly cut the ribbon and opened the doors of the facility. “As we cut this ribbon today, we’re opening a new chapter in healthcare for our community,” said Paudel in addressing the distinguished guests and visitors.

Jason Feierstein, the Marketing and Sales Representative, greeted the guests and gave tours of the facility that includes the amenities of six exam rooms with two triage rooms, digital x-rays, procedure room, in-house labs, EKG and tools and equipment for occupational medicine services. He contends the high-caliber medics and support team there will bring satisfaction to newcomers soon to be considered family.
