Walk up tests without registration will be available for this event only. All other Intermountain COVID testing sites require a clinical order. Please see www.intermountain.com/covidtesting for additional details.

People who are planning on being tested should prepare by having nothing by mouth 30 minutes prior to collection. This includes eating, drinking (no water), smoking, vaping, mints, or gum.

Intermountain is increasing testing capabilities as part of the current state of emergency with the COVID-19 surge. This is an opportunity to address the needs of these communities.

Intermountain asks everyone to wear a mask, wash hands consistently, social distance, and avoid family gatherings outside those living in immediate households.

The Intermountain mobile testing unit has been part of Intermountain community-based testing approach that utilizes testing resources and expertise as well as community-based partners who have knowledge of the local community’s needs, preferences, and resources.

Patient test results will be posted in an individual’s MyHealth+ account in two to three days.
