KANNAPOLIS — Atrium Health’s COVID-19 mobile testing unit will be out at St. Joseph Church on Friday, May 29, from noon to 6 p.m., conducting community screening and testing for COVID-19. The church is located at 108 St. Joseph St.
Part of Atrium Health’s ongoing effort to address underserved and minority communities in the Charlotte region that have limited access to COVID-19 testing, healthcare professionals at the Coronavirus Testing Center will conduct free screenings and immediate tests for COVID-19 as well as assess other health issues with patients, including the ability to socially isolate and quarantine, and make connec-tions to other resources such as access to food or a pharmacy.
If you’re having coronavirus symptoms, just walk up – you don’t need an appointment or ID. Some symptoms are fever, cough, shortness of breath, or loss of smell and/or taste.
In fulfilling its mission to provide health, hope and healing for all, Atrium Health will ensure the ability to pay will not be an inhibiting factor for those who need to be screened and tested.
Testing is available to those who do not have insurance coverage, as well as those with coverage or who are covered by a government program.
Additionally, Atrium Health does not share a patient’s immigration status and will not report if a patient is undocumented.
