CHARLOTTE — Atrium Health’s COVID-19 mobile testing bus was out April 29 at Our Lady of Consolation Church, screening 170 people and testing 123 people who drove up throughout the day.
Part of Atrium Health’s ongoing effort to address underserved and minority communities in Charlotte that have limited access to COVID-19 testing, healthcare professionals at the Coronavirus Testing Center conducted free screenings and immediate tests for COVID-19 as well as assess other health issues with patients, including the ability to socially isolate and quarantine, and make connections to other resources such as access to food or a pharmacy.
Atrium Health officials noted that the mobile testing event at the church located off Statesville Avenue was the most successful it has had to date.
Atrium Health continues to schedule mobile Coronavirus Testing Centers around the Charlotte area – for details, go to www.atriumhealth.org/about-us/coronavirus/mobile-unit.
