Founded in 1982 by Dr. D. Bruce Irwin in Birmingham, Alabama, AFC pioneered the modern urgent care model and remains physician-owned under the leadership of CEO Dr. Bruce Irwin Jr. AFC locations offer comprehensive walk-in care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries, on-site digital X-ray and CLIA-waived lab services (strep, flu, COVID, mono, UTI, pregnancy, basic blood panels), DOT physicals (all locations have certified medical examiners), USCIS immigration physicals (I-693 form), pre-employment drug screens, workers' compensation injury treatment, occupational health partnerships with local employers, and travel medicine consults including international vaccinations. Most AFC clinics are open 7 days a week with extended evening hours (typically 8 AM-8 PM weekdays, shorter weekends), and accept the "Save My Spot" online check-in to reduce in-office wait times to under 30 minutes.
