COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. , (KRDO) – A clinic in the Pikes Peak area, Mission Medical Center in E. La Salle Street is stepping up by offering the network with COVID-19 testing and medical materials for those who feel sick.
Mission Medical Center is an informal local clinic that serves low-income families and the uninsured for the next month, and its COVID-19 testing has been busier than ever.
“Before Christmas, we had an average of about 40 people a day and now it just exploded, we’re doing over two hundred for this little clinic and what we’re seeing is that other people have health issues,” added Barb Cronin, executive director. . Mission Medical Center in Colorado Springs.
With testing on at least another two hundred people a day for the past few weeks, and most of the symptoms that appear, Mission has partnered with Care and Share to provide people who are feeling unhealthy with medications such as cough syrup and cough drops, and non-public protective devices such as hand sanitizers.
“Just other people come with symptoms and we have the supply, let’s distribute it to the network where other people can use it and be calm with their symptoms,” Cronin said.
At this control site, they must provide salivary PCR control and nasal swab PCR control, and because of their variety of options, they have brought in other people from across the state to stop at their site.
“We’re not a last name, but other people track us down and they’re from Denver because they think if I have to stand in line or sit in their car for an hour, I could also move on to Colorado Springs and take the check quickly. Cronin said.
The effects of the SALIVA PCR test come within 48 hours, while the nasal swab PCR comes within 72 hours.
The clinic is loose and the doctor is usually composed of volunteers.
If you would like to volunteer, you can email them at: Volunteer@missionmedicalcenter. org or their website.
