Riverside Healthcare will be providing COVID-19 testing to residents of Pembroke Township on Tuesday, April 28 and to residents of Sun River Terrace on Friday, May 1.

Testing of Pembroke Township residents will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Riverside Healthcare clinic, located at 3400 S. Main Street. In Sun River Terrace, testing will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Sun River Terrace Community Center. Proof of residency is required. There is no out-of-pocket cost to be tested.

Pre-registration for testing is required by calling (815) 219-4037. Those being tested need to bring proof of residency, and a mask/bandana if they have one.

“With our ability to now have tests run in-house and receive results much more quickly, we want to reach out to those areas where there is a strong need,” said Riverside President and CEO Phil Kambic. Riverside recently acquired the necessary equipment to process COVID-19 test results in their own laboratory.

Results from the testing will be available in approximately one business day online through Riverside’s free MyChart. Sign up at riversidemychart.org.

Testing is now available at Riverside for anyone with a doctor’s order. To schedule an appointment with a Riverside Medical Group doctor, call 815-404-DOCS (3627) or online at riversidehealthcare.org. For those who need a doctor visit and cannot leave home, Riverside now offers video visits and visits by phone.
