Covid-19 Testing Information & Resources
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, one of Buhl Regional Health Foundation’s greatest concerns is the health, wellness and safety of our community. We ask that you please join us by doing your part in maintaining social distance, wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently, staying home if you feel sick and getting your COVID-19 Vaccine.
If you’re experiencing a true medical emergency, dial 911 or visit your nearest emergency department. We recommend calling ahead to the emergency department so that providers are aware of your symptoms. Keep in mind, if you simply need a Coronavirus test — because you’re not feeling well or you’ve been exposed — it’s better to call your doctor or visit an Urgent Care Center rather than the emergency department.
