Free Covid-19 Testing in Hot Springs, Malvern

​Healthy Connections continues to respond to the increased need for Covid-19 testing with new popup events this week in Hot Springs and Malvern.

Healthy Connections will provide Free Covid-19 testing this week on Wednesday, July 8 at The Centre at Forest Lakes in Hot Springs and on July 8 and Thursday, July 9, at Teeter Plaza in Malvern.

The pop-up testing sites are set up as drive-through events. Patients don’t even get out of their vehicles. Patients report this new Covid-19 test is much easier and less painful than other tests previously given. No insurance information is collected and patients are through the testing area and on their way in just a few minutes. Results from these tests are being received on average in five to seven days.
