The Health Care District of Palm Beach County announced a new COVID-19 testing site opening in Belle Glade. The District’s mobile health clinic will provide rapid antigen testing while stationed outside the county’s only public hospital, Lakeside Medical Center, located at 39200 Hooker Highway.
“As the Omicron variant becomes more dominant and COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to rise across the state, the Health Care District wants to enhance testing during the holidays to help take pressure off the Emergency Room in Belle Glade,” said Belma Andrić, M.D., MPH, Chief Medical Officer at the District. “We’ll be providing people with testing and if needed, treatment, thanks to AMR.”
American Medical Response (AMR) will be onsite providing Regeneron monoclonal antibody treatment to patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and meet the criteria to receive it.
No appointment is needed and walk-ups are welcome.
