Drive-Thru COVID-19 Community Testing Available at Imani Village

Advocate Aurora Health is expanding the availability of COVID-19 community testing on Chicago's South Side by adding a drive-thru location at Imani Village, 400 W 95th St, Chicago.

The Imani Village Drive-Thru will be in operation from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturdays in October.

Appointments are required. To schedule, use the Advocate Aurora LiveWell app or call 877-819-5034. The test comes with no out-of-pocket cost to the patient, as Advocate Aurora will either bill a patient's insurance or absorb the cost of the test for patients who do not have insurance.

Drive-thru testing is available for people who are showing at least one COVID-19 symptom, or who believe they have been exposed to COVID-19 in their household or through significant exposure at work or in public. COVID-19 symptoms: cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, body or muscle aches, headache, fatigue, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or recent loss of taste or smell.

After the test, people should stay at home and avoid contact with others until receiving a result, which should be available in 3-7 days. Results will be delivered via the Advocate Aurora Health LiveWell mobile app. If results are positive, a staff member will contact patients. Negative results for patients who don't have the LiveWell app will be mailed to their home.
