Premier Medical Group, with the support of the County of Hawaii, Bay Clinic and HOPE Services, will offer a one-day drive-through screening and testing clinic at the Naalehu Community Center on Wednesday.

The free clinic, which will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., is open to the public; however, individuals must first undergo a screening to determine if they meet the criteria to be tested. Clinic physicians on site will make the determination regarding testing. The screening criteria will be based on guidance of the CDC and the State’s COVID-19 Response Task Force.

People who visit the screening clinic will be asked to show photo ID. Additionally, people are requested to bring their own pen, and any health insurance cards they have, although insurance is not required.
