COVID Assessment Clinic Drive Thru
Our drive thru COVID-19 Assessment Clinic is open to anyone with respiratory (flu or COVID-19) symptoms. At our drive thru clinic, we are able to assess all patients presenting with fever and/or upper respiratory symptoms and test those appropriate, all while patients stay safely in their vehicle. Symptoms of upper respiratory illness include:
- Cough
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Shortness of breath
- Sore throat
If you are going to our clinic for COVID-19 symptoms, you can speed up registration by going to mhsystem.org/COVIDregister. This lets us know you are coming. This will allow our experts to add you to a schedule and electronically send a link via text message or email to complete your registration. Patients have the opportunity to digitally register at the clinic. You must complete the full registration after receiving the link before pulling into line for testing.
On arrival, please follow signage instructions. A security guard will be present in a tent to help with any questions and will direct you to park in the registration area first. While parked, you will see instructions to text a number to receive a link to register for COVID testing. You will receive a text with a link to register for the clinic. Do not pull into the drive thru line until you receive confirmation of your registration and a text saying to get in line is given This allows you to complete your registration from the comfort of your vehicle before getting in line, and doing so helps our line move quickly and efficiently with minimal contact. We ask that you are patient and considerate of our team and other patients during this busy time. Pulling your vehicle into the line before registration is complete costs more time per patient and reduces the number of patients we may see in a day.
If you are at the clinic for an outpatient COVID-19 test, please use the line for the assessment rather than going into Physicians Care Express. If you are experiencing more serious symptoms, we encourage patients go to the nearest ER for treatment.
Type of Test
Our Assessment Clinic sends PCR COVID tests out to a lab for analysis, therefore results are not instant. Our providers will give instructions and inform patients at the time of testing as to when and how they can expect results to be obtained.
