American Family Care
American Family Care, commonly known as AFC, is a U.S. healthcare company specializing in urgent care, accessible primary care, occupational medicine, diagnostic testing, vaccinations, physical examinations, and other walk-in medical services. Dr. Bruce Irwin opened the first American Family Care clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1982 after recognizing that many patients were using hospital emergency rooms for non-life-threatening medical needs that could be treated more conveniently in a neighborhood clinic.
AFC has expanded from one Birmingham clinic into one of the largest urgent-care networks in the United States. Current 2026 AFC materials report 400+ clinics, operations in 29+ states, and more than 4 million patients treated during 2025. The network includes both corporate and independently owned franchise clinics.
Current leadership information identifies Jeremy Morgan as Chief Executive Officer. AFC states that its network includes more than 3,500 healthcare professionals, cares for more than 4 million patients annually, and generates more than $1 billion in annual system-wide sales.
AFC does not prominently publish one general consumer corporate-switchboard number on its main corporate pages.
For corporate compliance matters, a verified contact is:
205-380-5530.
AFC does not operate one universal nationwide patient Customer Service number because individual clinics manage many patient, billing, appointment, and medical-record matters locally.
Patients should use the official clinic finder to obtain the correct center phone number.

Dr. Bruce Irwin

400+ clinics
across:
29+ states.
AFC reports treating:
4 million+ patients in 2025.
Current leadership information describes:
3,500+ healthcare professionals
across the system.
AFC operates through a combination of:
Company-owned clinics
and:
Independently owned franchise clinics.
Each franchise clinic is responsible for its own employment practices and certain local business operations.
Patients filing a complaint should first identify whether the issue involves medical care, staff behavior, billing, privacy, discrimination, records, or another matter. Keep the clinic address, date of visit, patient name, billing records, receipts, correspondence, and names of employees previously contacted.
Start with the AFC clinic where the care or issue occurred and ask to speak with the clinic manager or appropriate medical leader. Explain the problem clearly, provide the visit date and patient information, and describe what resolution you are requesting. Because many AFC clinics are independently owned franchises, local management may have direct responsibility for billing, staff conduct, scheduling, and service concerns.
If the first clinic employee cannot resolve the issue, ask for review by the clinic manager, medical director, franchise owner, or another senior local representative. Keep a written record of who you contacted, the date of each conversation, and any promises or explanations provided. If the complaint involves medical treatment, request copies of relevant records where appropriate.
For privacy issues, contact 888-351-2061 or dataprivacy@americanfamilycare.com.

Provide the clinic location, dates, previous complaint history, and supporting documents.
For a serious unresolved corporate complaint, send written correspondence to American Family Care, 3700 Cahaba Beach Road, Birmingham, AL 35242. Include the patient’s contact information, clinic involved, date of service, previous complaint history, billing or medical reference information, and copies of supporting documents. Clearly state the resolution requested and retain proof of delivery.
If the complaint remains unresolved, use the regulator appropriate to the issue. AFC’s nondiscrimination notice confirms that civil-rights complaints may be submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, whose published phone number is 1-800-368-1019.
