A History of Community Commitment

Hometown Urgent Care and Research was established in 2006. It quickly became the largest urgent care provider in Ohio and a highly regarded Clinical Research company.

Hometown Research was acquired by WellNow Urgent Care and Research in December 2020. On July 1, 2024, Hometown reacquired WellNow Urgent Care, and is now operating under the DBA Hometown Urgent Care again.

Throughout this timeframe, our clinical research staffing, SOP’s and study conduct have remain unchanged given our relentless commitment to clinical research excellence.
