Community COVID testing:
Due to an unforeseen circumstance, COVID testing on 1/20 is cancelled. We are not yet sure if the Community Health Center will be able to resume testing onsite at ASC on 2/3 as planned. Anyone who signed up will be notified, and we are sharing this update onsite and distributing information about other testing options. We continue to be focused on the health of our whole community, and will continue to adhere to excellent COVID precautions onsite. Our website will be updated as soon as we have confirmation about 2/3.
We encourage all community members to get tested. Other local testing locations include:
