Continuing our digital journey to make healthcare accessible, convenient and easy to find, patients seeking OhioHealth Urgent Care services can now ask Amazon Alexa. After enabling the free OhioHealth skill, users can ask Alexa questions like “Alexa, ask OhioHealth for the wait time at Dublin Urgent Care” or “Alexa, ask OhioHealth for the nearest urgent care.”

OhioHealth is the first healthcare system in the state to use the voice-powered technology in this manner. The OhioHealth skill can be used to find the nearest urgent care, get the current wait time, find hours of operation and receive contact information for a specific OhioHealth urgent care location. The wait time feature is available for all of the central Ohio locations and is updated every minute.
