If you're experiencing Coronavirus symptoms — which can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, headache, vomiting, stomach pain, or loss of smell or taste — or if you believe you've been exposed to someone with Coronavirus, AHN strongly encourages you to get tested.
Rapid testing at home is an easy option. Additionally, we have multiple testing options throughout the region to make it easier for you to get the care you need and receive results quickly.
If you're experiencing a true medical emergency, dial 911 or visit your nearest emergency department.
Keep in mind, if you simply need a Coronavirus test — because you're not feeling well or you've been exposed — it's much faster to home test, call your doctor, or visit an AHN Express Care rather than the emergency department.

Our offices and Express Care locations offer the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test. This is a very accurate and reliable test that can detect the presence of the virus. It’s done through a nasal swab, and you typically receive results in 24-48 hours.
Through a quick nasal swab.
Test results are usually back within 24-48 hours. To view your results, log into your MyChart account and click the COVID-19 icon to view your results. Your doctor’s office may also follow up with a call about your results.
If viewing your results in MyChart, they will appear as one of the following:
Not Detected: Meaning Coronavirus is not detected, you’ve tested negative.
Detected: Meaning Coronavirus is detected, you’ve tested positive.
Please do not call (412) NURSE-4-U or (412) DOCTORS, as neither service can provide testing information.
Stay safely in your home, and away from others, as you wait for your results.
If you’re experiencing an immediate medical emergency, call 911. Make sure to mention you have been tested for Coronavirus.
