First Care Medical Clinic

First Care Medical Clinic was founded in 1994 in Monroe, North Carolina by Dr. Benedict Okwara. As a result of Dr. Okwara's emergency room experience he realized that many of the patients that frequented the emergency room could be well managed in a well equipped out-patient setting with better outcomes and at a lower cost to the patient. Dr. Okwara opened his first office in 1994 and over the past 20 years First Care Medical Clinic has grown to seven locations providing over 35,000 patient visits a year. First Care Medical Clinic continues to operate from the very premise that birthed it, which is to provide the highest level of healthcare possible to every patient that walks through First Care Medical Clinic's door. Healthcare that results in better outcomes and translates into less cost for our patients for the long term.
