Due to increased patient volume, patients are strongly encouraged to make an appointment prior to arrival by calling AHN’s 24/7 Nurse On Call-line (412-NURSE4U – or 412-687-7348). A physician’s order is still NOT required.  

To undergo COVID testing at the AHN mobile clinics, patients should either be experiencing symptoms consistent with the virus – including fever, cough and shortness of breath – or believe they are at risk due to contact with someone with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis. 

What to expect when arriving at the mobile testing site: 

  • Patients will walk or drive through a secured, marked area.
  • No outdoor restrooms will be available at the collection locations.
  • The sample is collected via a nasal swab and the process typically takes less than 30 seconds, not including any wait times.
  • Testing results for the coronavirus typically take 5-7 days, depending on regional test volume. Individuals will be contacted directly with their results.  As volumes increase, wait times for results may be longer.
  • While waiting for their test results, individuals should stay at home. Those who receive positive COVID-19 test results may be issued additional care orders or self-isolation orders.
