Georgia Mountains Health (GMH), at 165 Blue Ridge Overlook in Blue Ridge,  is providing drive-by COVID-19 testing.

Patients with symptoms will be screened by a medical provider if the patient meets CDC guidelines for testing.

A drive-by test will be conducted between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. An appointment must be made prior.

The test is free to those without insurance, but insurances are accepted.

The office is also scheduling telehealth visits for those who need a routine follow-up. This essentially allows patients to video chat with their doctors in the comfort of their own homes.

Additionally, routine follow-ups and well visits are being scheduled from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and sick visits from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Other than in the case of an emergency, all dental care services are suspended.

GMH provides medical care on a “sliding fee rate based on income.” Call 706-946-4647 for details.
