GOOSE CREEK, S.C. – Anyone in need of screening for the coronavirus can take advantage of Fetter Health Care’s mobile COVID-19 test site in Goose Creek on Thursday, Jan. 21. 

Testing will take place at New Life Christian Fellowship from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The church is at 358 Liberty Hall Rd. in Goose Creek.

“As our state continues to see spikes of positive COVID-19 cases throughout its communities, Lowcountry residents are still in need of accessible and affordable COVID-19 testing,” said Aretha R. Powers (Jones), DHA, MPH, MA, CEO of Fetter. “As a Federally Qualified Community Health Center (FQHC), it is our top priority to provide outreach opportunities to our friends and neighbors in need. We’ll continue offering COVID-19 testing clinics to do our part, as long as we are able.”

People are asked to practice social distancing and wear a face covering while waiting for testing. In an effort to streamline patient registration, all patient registration will take place as people arrive at the clinic.

Currently, tests are given with no out-of-pocket cost to patients. All insurance providers in South Carolina are covering the cost of COVID-19 testing. According to Fetter Health Care, patient insurance information will be processed in order to complete testing. No co-pays or deductibles are being charged. All patients will be served.
