Free COVID-19 Screening Event in Gualala on Saturday, October 17

​Please Note New Procedures – Appointments Required
 Redwood Coast Medical Services (RCMS) is continuing to collaborate with the Mendocino County Health Department and UCSF to perform ongoing free COVID-19 Screenings for asymptomatic patients (people with no COVID-19 symptoms). Because weather/rain will make our drive through events difficult going forward, we have changed to a scheduled COVID-19 screening system.  
 
Our next screening event is:
 Saturday October 17, 2020
10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (by appointment only)
RCMS Gualala Clinic Triage Tent, 46900 Ocean Drive, Gualala
 
To make an appointment to be screened there are two options:

• Go the RCMS website (https://www.rcms-healthcare.org/) and click the “GET TESTED” button
• Click on this direct link to access the RCMS ASYMPTOMATIC COVID-19 SCREENING scheduling site: https://redwoodcoastmedicalservicesinc.setmore.com/covidscreeningappointment

 
We are not currently making appointments for this asymptomatic screening event by phone, so please do not call the clinic for a screening appointment. All screening for patients without symptoms are scheduled only through the above link. If you need help with the website/link, we ask that you ask a friend or family member to help schedule you on the website. If you are SICK WITH SYMPTOMS, then do call the clinic for a medical appointment – and you will be seen in Urgent Care.
 
Results
Like our past screenings, tests will be run at UCSF. You will receive a phone call only if you test positive for COVID-19. If you receive no phone call within 7 days of your test, you are negative. You will not receive a call if you are negative.
 
Why Get Tested: Please be aware that COVID-19 is on the rise in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. Testing events such as this allow us to locate and isolate/quarantine asymptomatic positive cases and their contacts, and is ultimately very protective of the community. It also allows the Health Department to monitor the prevalence of the infection in our community. Thank you for getting screened!
