Fetter Health Care Network (FHCN) and Colleton County have partnered to offer free mobile COVID-19 screening and testing June 1 and 2 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Black Street Early Childhood Development at 256 Smith Street in Walterboro, SC. Screening prior to arrival is highly encouraged for faster service.
Individuals who have known COVID-19 exposure or are experiencing cough, fever and shortness of breath can request a screening at FetterCovid19Screening.org or by calling 1-800-365-7410. Residents are asked to wear face coverings and practice safe social distancing while at the mobile testing site.
“Our Fetter team is proud to partner with Colleton County in caring for our community,” said Aretha R. Jones-Powers, CEO of Fetter Health Care Network. “As a community health center, it is a privilege to be on the front lines and we are grateful to our team of healthcare heroes for making it happen.”
Tests are given with no out-of-pocket cost to patients. Currently, all insurance providers in South Carolina are covering the full cost of COVID-19 testing. Patient insurance information will be processed during testing. No co-pays or deductibles are being charged. All patients will be served if qualified for the test.
