American Family Care Franchise Disclosure Document

American Family Care is an urgent care and occupational medicine franchise that provides walk-in medical services for non-emergency illnesses and injuries. It was founded in 1982 in Birmingham, Alabama, by Dr. Bruce Irwin. Today, AFC is one of the largest urgent care operators in the country, with locations across most major U.S. metro areas. This model requires significant startup capital due to the need for medical equipment, clinic build-out, and staffing with licensed healthcare professionals. However, it offers high revenue potential due to strong demand for accessible, lower-cost alternatives to emergency rooms. Most locations generate income from a mix of insurance reimbursements and out-of-pocket payments, and AFC supports franchisees with compliance, marketing, and operational systems tailored to the healthcare space.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
