ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL IS TESTING FOR COVID-19
As part of Pitkin County Public Health’s transition to a “Box It In” strategy to contain COVID-19 and slowly ease into reopening the community, Aspen Valley Hospital is partnering with Public Health to expand COVID-19 testing in our community.
How does it work?
- A physician referral is required. Testing will not be done on a walk-in basis.
- If you have a local doctor, call your doctor for a referral. If you do not have a local doctor, please call Aspen Valley Primary Care at 970-279-4111 to be tested. If you are from out of town, please contact your PCP for a referral which can be faxed to 970-544-1589 - AVH Scheduling.
- We have opened and expanded testing to residents, second home owners and visitors. If you live in Garfield County, please navigate to their website for testing guidance.
- All testing is done at Aspen Valley Hospital.
- Hours of operation for community testing is Monday – Friday, 12 noon – 4 pm. If you need to be tested over the weekend, please contact Aspen Valley Primary Care at 970-279-4111. Hours are 12 noon - 4 pm.
- If you do not have health insurance, we will work with you. If you do have insurance, please show your insurance card. You WILL NOT have an out of pocket expense.
