CFH opens second COVID-19 testing site in Jackson

The Center for Family Health partnered with the City of Jackson to open its second COVID-19 testing site at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, 1107 Adrian Street, on April 27. A testing center will operate in the parking lot 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.

CFH opened its first testing site two weeks ago at 505 N. Jackson Street as part of a statewide expansion of COVID-19 testing.

People who believe they may need testing should call the CFH testing hotline at (517) 748-5363, open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends.

Callers will discuss symptoms and risk factors with medical providers. If screening indicates testing is appropriate, appointments will be set at either site. Patients can drive up or walk up for appointments.

CFH is one of three health centers in Michigan participating in a study to determine the effectiveness of a new saliva test for COVID-19. Nasopharyngeal swabs are currently the standard method. People going through CFH testing services will be asked if they wish to participate in the study.Those who agree will provide a saliva sample after their nasopharyngeal sample is collected.
