Another Corporate Headquarters Makes Covington Its Home
If you live on the Northshore, then you are most likely familiar with Rapid Urgent Care. This 5-year-old company currently has walk- 
medical clinics in Slidell, Mandeville, Baton Rouge, Metairie and Covington. Dr. Edward Dease who owns Rapid Urgent Care and Correct Care (a company that provides physician staffing and management services) chose Covington to house the new headquarters for both his companies.
Dr. Dease, who has worked as an emergency medicine physician and as an anesthesiologist, purchased the 6,000 square-foot building at 229 Saint John Lane for the corporate office which will house both medical company’s administrative staff. With the two companies growing and doubling in the number of walk-in clinics, the Covington headquarters employees will double in size.
The new corporate office will not offer medical services but has a clinic a few blocks away which will treat patients. Dr. Dease, a longtime Covington resident agrees with Covington Mayor Mike Cooper who said, “It’s great for Covington to be able to get this building back into commerce and to know that the employees will be able to enjoy what we have to offer in the downtown area.”
