Kroger Health is expanding its COVID-19 testing offerings at more than 220 clinic locations by appointment for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The clinic testing will mirror the self-administered collection process currently used at Kroger Health’s community testing locations, allowing greater access to testing and convenient care services. Kroger Health’s in-store clinics have the capability to test as many as 5,000 patients per day. Patients can access Kroger Health’s free screening tool to determine if testing is appropriate for them and schedule an appointment. Once a patient schedules an appointment, a licensed practitioner will contact them via telehealth or by phone. Clinic locations will offer designated parking for patients and most COVID-19 sample collections can be self-administered under the observation of a Kroger Health professional while patients remain in their vehicles. The company has also instituted additional safety measures at Kroger Health clinics, including enhanced air filtration systems. Since April, Kroger Health has facilitated more than 150,000 COVID-19 tests across 19 states at the drive-thru and walk-up testing locations.
