Our Available COVID-19 Testing Services
COVID-19 testing is important to identify those who might have the virus and thus prevent continued spread, as well as to offer appropriate monitoring and treatments. The CDC recommends that anyone with any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 get tested, regardless of vaccination status or prior infection. For the continued safety of our patients, staff and store customers, purchasing an at-home test kit is highly recommended. This is especially recommended for patients currently exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms.
