CareSTL Health is opening four new COVID-19 testing sites, one for children

CareSTL Health is expanding COVID-19 testing sites starting the week of May 11, including its first site dedicated to testing children.

Its new testing sites and times will be:

• Dellwood Community Center, 10255 W. Florissant (9 a.m.-12 p.m. Mondays)
• Riverview Gardens High School, 1218 Shepley Dr. (1- 4 p.m. Wednesdays and 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Thursdays)
• and Berkeley City Hall, 8425 Airport Rd. (1-3 p.m. Wednesdays).

The CareSTL Health Pediatric COVID-19 Testing Site will be at its 4500 Pope Ave. location and will see children 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-3 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.

CareSTL Health said it has been hearing from parents seeking information about where they can take their children for evaluation and testing if they believe they have been exposed to COVID-19. 

Additionally, CareSTL Health providers have seen a decrease in pediatric patients due to the pandemic and parents fearing exposure if they take their children to hospitals. So CareSTL Health is dedicating one of its locations to provide clinical evaluations by a pediatric provider prior to COVID-19 testing.

• 5471 MLK Dr., 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday
