If you were worried about losing urgent care in Laramie, take a breath — it’s not going anywhere.
Grand Ave Urgent Care is staying open, and starting January 2026 it will become Ivinson Urgent Care, owned and operated by Ivinson Memorial Hospital.
Here’s the part most people want to know right away:
Nothing changes for patients.
- Same location
- Same providers
- Same staff
- Same services
- Same hours
Grand Ave Urgent Care will close briefly on December 30, then reopen on January 2, 2026 under the Ivinson name. Care continues without disruption.
Why this matters
Urgent care is a lifeline in Laramie — especially when you don’t need the ER but can’t wait weeks for an appointment. Losing it was not an option, and both organizations worked to make sure it stayed right here in town.
Grand Ave Urgent Care has been serving Laramie since 2016 and sees more than 16,000 patients a year. Ivinson is stepping in to keep that care local, sustainable, and connected to the rest of our healthcare system.
What will change (eventually)
Over time, patients may notice:
- New signage
- A new billing office
- Shared medical records with Ivinson
- Online access through Ivinson’s patient portal
But day-to-day care? That stays the same.
Urgent Care vs. Convenient Care (quick clarity)
Ivinson will continue to operate both:
- Urgent Care – for more complex, non-emergency issues
- Convenient Care – for routine, lower-acuity concerns
They serve different needs, and Laramie needs both.
The bottom line
Urgent care is staying open.
It’s staying staffed.
It’s staying local.
For a community our size, that’s genuinely good news.
