The Chatham-Kent Health Alliance is trying to keep up with demand for COVID testing.
Along with support from local paramedics, the hospital is going to offer walk-up testing starting tomorrow morning outside 47 Emma Street on the ramp on the east side of the building.
The clinics will run 10am-6pm on Thursday September 23rd, Thursday September 28, and Thursday September 30, no appointment necessary.
Bring a valid health card, a list of medications, and any other information regarding allergies and past medical issues.
To manage traffic flow, whenever possible patients are asked to be dropped off outside the building. Individuals receiving a test at the walk-in clinic are able to have their parking ticket validated and are asked to bring their ticket with them to the clinic. Municipal parking is also available on and around the property.
Appointments can still be booked at the CKHA COVID Assessment Centre at 10 Grand Avenue, or the Paediatric Assessment COVID-19 Centre in ambulatory care at the Chatham hospital by visiting www.assessmentbooking.ca or calling 519-436-2556.
