Advocate Aurora Health’s fight against COVID-19 takes testing directly to hardest-hit communities | The Crusader Newspaper Group

Advocate Aurora Health on Wednesday will open its first mobile community testing site for COVID-19, the health system’s latest effort to extend coronavirus testing to communities disproportionately impacted by the global pandemic.

The mobile testing site at Compassion Baptist Church, 2650 E. 95th Street in Chicago will be open Wednesday, June 10, through Friday, June 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for people who are showing at least one COVID-19 symptom.

Through the partnership with Compassion Baptist Church, Advocate Aurora is taking testing right into the community making it accessible and convenient for residents.

In addition, Advocate Aurora will begin community testing at two additional locations in the coming days: on the grounds of Imani Village in Chicago and on the Advocate Condell Medical Center campus.

Advocate plans to continue to expand COVID-19 community testing – focusing on communities disproportionately impacted by the virus – and will share more details on our newsroom as plans are finalized.
