In its continuing effort to reach underserved communities, Allegheny Health Network’s mobile covid-19 testing unit will be in Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood neighborhood Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The testing site will set up in the empty parking lot across from the Hazelwood Family Health Center at 4915 Second Ave.
The mobile testing initiative was launched in early May with a goal of providing enhanced access to care for a wider and more diverse range of patients. So far, the unit has served patients in the Hill District, Duquesne and Homewood communities.
To get a covid-19 test at the AHN mobile clinic, patients should either be experiencing symptoms consistent with the virus – including fever, cough and shortness of breath – or believe they are at risk due to contact with someone with a confirmed covid-19 diagnosis.
A physician’s order is NOT required for an appointment at AHN’s mobile clinic, but an appointment is encouraged to help minimize wait times. Patients can make an appointment by calling 412-687-7348.
