COVID-19 Testing
If You Have COVID-19 Symptoms
If you’re experiencing mild COVID-19 symptoms and want to be tested, we offer testing at our 7147 Vista Drive in West Des Moines - now with expanded hours.
If you feel you need to be seen by a healthcare provider for your symptoms, patients can schedule a reservation online for a testing time or walk-in for one of our two Urgent Care locations in West Des Moines and Ankeny. Please note that high patient volumes may affect your ability to schedule an Urgent Care reservation online and walk-ins may be necessary.
