West Oakland Health is pleased to Announce COVID-19 Testing for All Community Members

“Our mission is to provide real solutions to health disparities in our community. Increasing COVID-19 testing for community residents helps us reach part of that mission in the face of this pandemic.” – Preston DuFauchard, CEO of West Oakland Health

West Oakland Health’s free testing site for all community members is now open. This testing site addresses an identified need to increase access to testing in West Oakland beyond health center patient population and to the community at large and to address testing disparities.

Testing is free and available to anyone with symptoms, and to any health care, front line, or essential worker even if they have no symptoms. COVID-19 symptoms cough, fever, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat or a new loss of taste or smell. You do not need to have insurance and you will not be asked about immigration status.
