Together with the New Spiritual Light Missionary Baptist Church and Peer Plus Education and Training Advocates, CVS Health is launching rapid COVID-19 testing at the Chicago Baptist Institute.  CVS pharmacists and pharmacy employees will staff the testing operation, which will be available at no cost to patients. Testing at the Chicago Baptist Institute, located at 5120 S. King Drive in Chicago, will be open to the public by appointment.  Patients will need to pre-register in advance by calling 844-826-2838 to schedule a time slot to come to the center for testing. A personal vehicle is not required for testing and results will be provided on-the-spot.  To be eligible for testing, patients will need to meet criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in addition to age guidelines. In addition to offering testing together with several community partners across the country, CVS Health is offering drive-thru testing at more than 4,000 CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide.  More information on steps CVS Health has taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic is available at the company’s frequently updated COVID-19 resource center.
