OKLAHOMA CITY -- Urgent Care Travel (UCT) has announced that it is opening a second location at a Pilot Flying J site, this time at a Pilot travel center in Oklahoma City. It opened its first urgent care location on May 1 at a Pilot travel center in Knoxville, Tenn.
The Oklahoma City location held a grand opening on July 9.
UCT and Pilot Flying Travel J have come to an agreement to open as many as 100 urgent care facilities on Pilot Flying J travel centers.
