Cottage Clinical Network LLC (CCN) was created in 2019 with Cottage Health as its sole corporate member, and became operational in 2020. CCN operates urgent care centers in the surrounding communities. CCN was begun as a response to the community's shortage of primary care physicians. These walk-in clinics are staffed with licensed nurse practitioners, complete with x-ray and laboratory services. More serious medical conditions are referred to emergency departments for a higher level of care. As of December 2022, there were 15 centers open. It was expected the initial year would generate a loss. However, with the COVID pandemic coinciding with the opening of the urgent care centers, operations are in a growth pattern and remained in a loss position in 2022. The number of patients served in 2022 was 112,688.
