Rapid COVID-19 Testing Information

Rapid COVID-19 testing, with results in 15 minutes, is available every day at our designated testing centers. Our providers can evaluate you in-center or via Virtual Visit.

If you are not experiencing symptoms but have been in close contact with a COVID-19 positive person in the last 10 days, please schedule a Virtual Visit. Exposed patients without symptoms should wait 5-7 days after exposure before being tested.
