A community drive-thru evaluation clinic for COVID-19 will be held from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., June 6 at First Baptist Church, 811 Scipio Jones Drive in North Little Rock. There will be no out-of-pocket cost to the patient.
The clinic will be conducted by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) along with The First Baptist Church of North Little Rock and the City of North Little Rock Department of Parks and Recreation.
Participants do not have to be a UAMS patient to be seen. This evaluation clinic is for anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms, including cough, fever, shortness of breath. Not everyone who is sick needs to be tested.
UAMS physicians will evaluate you to see if you need to be tested. If you are not tested, you will be given instructions on how to take care of yourself and your family at home. If you are tested, results take several days to come back and you will receive a phone call about your test results.
If you feel well and don’t have any symptoms, continue to stay home, wash your hands regularly, and practice social distancing by staying at least six feet away from other people when in public places. An online screening tool is available at uamshealth.com/healthnow. Phone screening is available through the UAMS Health hotline at (800) 632-4502.
