The Express Care and the Emergency Department should be used for patients needing to be seen by a provider. These should not be used as COVID-19 testing sites.

To schedule a COVID-19 Test

COVID-19 Tests ordered by your provider

If you are sick and are under the care of a provider, they may order a COVID-19 test and will either direct you to a location in the facility to receive your test or conduct the test during your appointment, depending upon the circumstances and symptoms.

Pre-operative COVID-19 Tests

Depending upon the circumstances, and timing of your procedure, you may be required to be tested for COVID-19. The provider’s staff will work with you to secure the testing appointment prior to the day of the procedure

Emergency Room Testing

If you are suffering from a health-related emergency, the Emergency Department may perform a COVID-19 test as part of your treatment. The staff does not perform on-demand COVID-19 tests.

Express Care Testing

If you are sick or injured and visit Express Care, you will only be tested for COVID-19 if the provider orders the test as part of the diagnostic process.

On-Demand Testing

Newman Regional Health offers COVID-19 tests to asymptomatic individuals on an appointment basis. Currently, testing is available in Express Care from 10:00AM to 11:00AM Monday through Friday.
