Individuals seeking a free test are asked to bring ID, insurance is not required and no insurance card will be requested. Tests can only be done on individuals 18 years of age or older and you must be a Michigan resident.

BHSJCHA, “Your Local Health Department”, protects your privacy. Your test result is protected health information under federal law. The Health Department reaches out to others who may have had close contact with a person with known or suspected COVID-19 to prevent the spread of disease. Employers are involved only if necessary,to stop the spread of disease among other employees.

The Health Department does not inform law enforcement about your test results or other information about you. The Health Department will never ask about immigration documentation status. First responders are only informed about whether they were possibly exposed while working.

BHSJCHA would like to acknowledge and thank the many local community agencies, City of Sturgis and St. Joseph county government departments, and individuals that are volunteering their space and their time to make this Free Community Testing opportunity available for residents of Michigan and especially those that reside in Branch, Hillsdale, and St. Joseph counties.
