Christ Community Health Services is offering drive-through COVID 19 testing this Friday, April 17, at Christ Community Hickory Hill 5366 Mendenhall Mall from 2-4 pm and at Christ Community Health Services Frayser 969 Frayser Blvd. Saturday, April 18, from 9-11 am.
The expansion of COVID 19 testing into the Hickory Hill and Frayser Raleigh communities is to ensure that COVID 19 testing is accessible to those individuals within the North Memphis and the Hickory Hill areas that have not been tested and are presenting symptom. Individuals who wish to be tested are asked to make an appointment by texting: test2020 to 91999 or calling Christ Community Health Services at 901-842-3160.
Since testing begins on March 21, Christ Community Health Services has tested over 500 individuals. The need for COVID 19 testing in medically underserved areas of Memphis and Shelby County is great, and Christ Community Health Services is working to fill the COVID 19 testing gaps.
