COVID-19 Testing | No Cost COVID-19 testing available.

Testing for a communicable disease is one key used in managing a pandemic. It is often assumed that folks have a strong desire to know their COVID-19 status, and will therefore take advantage of testing opportunities. This may not be the case in all instances.

If there is perceived stigma associated with COVID-19, this can prevent individuals from seeking a test. It is not a negative mark of a person, or an embarrassing or shameful action to get tested. Please keep in mind there are several reasons a person may want to have a test for COVID-19. Here are a few:

“I feel just fine but I was around someone who I learned tested positive for the virus.”

“I feel just fine but was around someone how tested positive and I live in a household where I am around others I want to try and prevent passing it too.”

“I don't feel well and I want to make sure I can get any treatment that is available for someone who has COVID-19.”

If you want to get a test for COVID-19 or help in determining if and when you should get tested, please call us at 406-775-6332.
