Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and AFC Urgent Care clinics announced a new partnership with locations in Valencia and Canyon Country.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to improving access to high-quality, convenient healthcare for residents of the Santa Clarita Valley.

The AFC Urgent Care centers have long served local families with walk-in care for a wide range of medical needs, including minor injuries, illnesses, and preventive services.

Through this new partnership, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and the AFC Urgent Care will work together to enhance coordination of care, strengthen clinical resources, and expand access to services across the community.

“Our goal is to ensure that Santa Clarita residents have timely access to high-quality care close to home,” said Kevin Klockenga, President and CEO of Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. “By partnering with these trusted urgent care providers, we are strengthening the continuum of care for our community while maintaining the convenience and accessibility patients expect from urgent care.”

The partnership will allow the organizations to collaborate on several initiatives, including:

• Improving coordination between urgent care providers and hospital services
• Expanding access to same-day care for non-emergency medical needs
• Strengthening care navigation for patients who require additional specialty or hospital services
• Supporting the continued growth of high-quality healthcare services in the Santa Clarita Valley

 Patients will continue receiving care from the same trusted providers and clinical teams they know at AFC locations today. The urgent care centers will remain focused on delivering fast, convenient walk-in services, while also benefiting from stronger collaboration with Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s broader healthcare network.

 “This partnership allows us to continue providing compassionate, convenient walk-in care to our community, while working more closely with Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital to support patients who need additional services,” said Curt and Lupe Hafner, owners of AFC Urgent Care centers in Santa Clarita.

 Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital also operates Henry Mayo Newhall Urgent Care, located on the hospital campus. 

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital has served the Santa Clarita Valley for more than 50 years and remains committed to advancing healthcare access, quality, and innovation for the region’s growing population.

 Residents seeking urgent care services can continue visiting the AFC Valencia and Canyon Country locations for walk-in care seven days a week.
