Each year, respiratory viruses are responsible for millions of illnesses and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. In addition to the virus that causes COVID-19, there are many other types of respiratory viruses, including flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The good news is there are actions you can take to help protect yourself and others from health risks caused by respiratory viruses.

Masking
Your health and safety are important to us, and if you would like to wear a mask, please do so. In addition, if you would prefer members of your care team mask, please let the check-in desk know.
While Prevea Health doesn't require masking within our health centers, please mask if you have a cough or any respiratory symptoms to help protect the health of those around you.
Testing
Prevea offers PCR COVID-19 testing, which is billed to insurance, at select locations statewide. Appointments for COVID-19 testing can be made through MyPrevea. Additionally, test results will only be available in MyPrevea.
