Kiosk Testing

Kiosks Provide No-cost Flu and COVID-19 Testing 24/7

Are you ill? Worried you may have the flu or COVID-19? Do not wait to find out! The best way to know if you are sick with either is to get a PCR test. The Health Department does not offer testing inside our health centers but does provide PCR testing for COVID-19 and flu at three convenient kiosks 24 hours a day.

The kiosk is simple to use and will walk you through the steps to complete your tests. Results are typically available within 48 hours. To save time at the kiosk, you can preregister for testing at register.testandgo.com; however, preregistration is unnecessary.

Testing is at no cost to you, but insurance is billed if you have it.

COVID and influenza testing are among the many prevention measures that protect you and others by reducing the chances of spreading illness.

Vaccination, hand washing, and good respiratory hygiene also help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses like COVID and flu:

  1. Frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and warm water. Alcohol-based gels are the next best thing if you don’t have access to soap and water.
  2. Cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow or arm to help prevent the spread of germs. Remember to wash your hands.
  3. Avoid touching your face as germs can enter the body through mucus membranes of the nose, mouth and eyes.
  4. Stay home from work or school if you’re sick. See our “Too Sick for Work” guidance to help you decide.

Community Health Assessment / Community Health Improvement Plans

Community Health Assessments (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) have been created for the three counties we serve.

The community-wide health assessment, which examines the county’s health status, is intended to help shape the collaborative efforts to improve the health of residents.

The community health improvement plan describes how the Health Department and a variety of community partners will work together to improve the health of the population through various projects and programs.

Access each county’s CHA and CHIP below:
