If you think you may have contracted COVID-19:

Call before you go

If you have a fever, cough or shortness of breath, or are otherwise concerned you have COVID-19, we ask that you do not come to any clinic facility without calling. Patients will be evaluated to determine if they require being seen in person or if they meet CDC guidelines for testing.

Do not go to the emergency department

Do not go to the emergency department simply for COVID-19 testing. The emergency department is only for those who need the most critical care. However, if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, a severe headache or other potentially life-threatening problems, go to the emergency department or call 911.

COVID-19 Hotline: 913-360-6700

COVID-19 Hotline available M-F 8am-4pm. Between the hours of 4-7 and on Saturday from 8-noon, call 913-367-6690.
All other times, please call 913-367-2131 or wait until office hours to speak to your primary care provider.
If you are in need of emergency medical care, call 911.
