Attention Wind River Cares Patients,
In order to prepare for the upcoming flu season and local school openings, our COVID-19 testing schedule will change on Tuesday, August 18, 2020.
We will be drive-thru COVID testing only at our Arapahoe Clinic beginning Tuesday, August 18, 2020. We will be testing daily from 9:00 am-12:00 pm. Our testing must end promptly at 12:00 pm.
We will only be testing individuals that have COVID symptoms or have close contact with a COVID positive patient, or approved workplace testing, or other medically required testing. Those that want to be tested and do not meet criteria can be tested on Thursday mornings.
COVID-19 TESTING WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLY AT ARAPAHOE CLINIC STARTING AUGUST 18TH.

Beginning on Tuesday, August 18, 2020, our Ethete Clinic will have appointments available for in-person care. We ask that patients with COVID symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, runny nose, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting) go to the Arapaho clinic for evaluation.
Beginning Wednesday, August 19, 2020, our Riverton Clinic will be accepting patients by appointment. We ask that patients with COVID symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, runny nose, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting) go to the Arapaho clinic for evaluation.
These changes are necessary to properly prepare for the upcoming flu season. Immunizations will be very important to keep our community healthy, and we want to be accessible for those that have delayed care during the COVID emergency.
We thank our community for their patience during these trying times. If we continue to work together, we can keep our community as safe and healthy as we can.
