Pacific Mercantile Bank has increased the financing for Marque Medical to $3.9 million.  The financing will be used by Marque Medical to open new urgent care clinic locations in Orange County.  In addition to the financing, Marque Medical utilizes a full suite of Pacific Mercantile Bank’s cash management services.

Marque Medical operates Marque Urgent Care, a patient-centered network of walk-in clinics.  Through its six locations in Orange County and San Diego County, Marque Urgent Care treats a range of non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses for adults and children in addition to providing general wellness services.  With each location fully staffed with experienced, multi-specialty physicians, Marque Urgent Care has elevated the standards of walk-in care by combining the best-in-class physicians, upscale and modern facilities, and a first-class approach to serving patients.

“Pacific Mercantile Bank has been highly supportive of our growth plans and provided the short-term and long-term credit facilities we needed to open our newest locations in Mission Viejo and Buena Park,” said Pierre Bergougnan, CEO of Marque Medical.  “We appreciate the time that the team from Pacific Mercantile Bank took to understand our expansion plans and customize a credit facility that accommodates the timing of the opening of our new clinics and supports our increasing working capital needs as our business grows.”

“Marque Medical has proven its business model and filled a critical gap between crowded primary care offices and costly emergency rooms,” said Tom Vertin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Mercantile Bank.  “We are very pleased to help Marque Medical open new urgent care clinics and better serve the medical needs of residents throughout Orange County.”
