Free COVID-19 testing is now available at Axis Community Health for current patients, all health care, frontline and essential workers, and anyone uninsured or without a primary care provider.
Testing is made available through a partnership with the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency and Asbury United Methodist Church in Livermore.
“Access to testing in Eastern Alameda County is critical to managing this health crisis,” Axis CEO Sue Compton said in a statement. “We encourage anyone who is a frontline essential worker to get tested to ensure their own good health and the health of others.”
Staffing and laboratory costs are covered by the county while the church is granting use of its parking lot for drive-thru testing. Walk-up testing is also available for those without a vehicle.
Rev. Kathy La Point-Collup, senior pastor at Asbury United Methodist, said, “We are grateful for the opportunity to host COVID testing for Axis. We believe COVID testing should be readily available for all and are glad to play this small role in making it available to Axis patients in the Tri-Valley community.”
People of all ages may be tested and results are received within 72 hours. There are no insurance, doctor’s note or immigration status requirements. Axis staff may also provide language assistance, if necessary.
Located at 4743 East Ave. in Livermore, the testing is done by appointment and available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Services will be available through the end of December. To make an appointment, call 462-1755.
