COVID-19 Testing

You must first be triaged via phone by one of our medical providers. Call the SHCC at 503-838-8313 (voice) to begin this process and find out if you meet current criteria for testing. If a medical provider determines you do, you will be directed to a private area in the parking lot behind the SHCC for specimen collection. This is being done OUTSIDE of the building to further prevent exposure to others so please do not enter the SHCC building.

If you have insurance, SHCC suggests you contact your insurance company to determine whether they will cover the cost of the test. Visit the Oregon health Insurance web page with more information. If you are uninsured, there may be a cost of $95 billed to you by Quest, the laboratory WOU utilizes.
