Beginning Friday, February 5, Roark Family Health will host free COVID-19 testing clinics every Friday, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
The free clinics are provided through a partnership with Roark Family Health and Nextgen Diagnostics, Dr. Lisa Roark said.
The tests will be completed in the south side parking lot (concrete parking lot) in the numbered parking spots.
People wanting to be tested need to bring a driver's license and insurance card (if they have one). For those who are uninsured, or whose insurance will not cover the cost of the test, the test will still be performed at no cost to the recipient.
According to Roark, the test is a nasal PCR test, with results generally available in about 48 hours.
For questions, people are advised to call Nextgen at 417-362-NEXT.
Roark emphasizes that the test is available to all interested patients, whether they are a member of her clinic or not.
“The tests can be used,” she said, “for testing out of quarantine, testing before leaving the state, and for employers whose staff must be tested weekly regardless of symptoms.”
If a patient prefers to book an appointment for a particular test time instead of just driving up, they may book a time at: https://roarkfamilyhealth.setmore.com/.
