Testing Kiosks Provide Service at No Out-of-Pocket Cost

SPOKANE, WASH. – In collaboration with Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD), COVID-19 testing and public health service startup Curative today announced the deployment of two new testing site kiosks in Spokane, Wash.

The sites are located in downtown Spokane in CHAS Health’s Denny Murphy Clinic parking lot and at the Mead School District Union stadium in Mead.

“Curative is proud to be partnering with Spokane Regional Health District to offer a crucial resource for the community during this pandemic,” said Fred Turner, CEO and co-founder of Curative. “Curative’s goal is to make testing more accessible with our easy PCR testing kiosk. We offer a simple testing option with results delivered directly one to two days upon receipt at our labs and at no out-of-pocket cost to patients.”

Curative offers shallow nasal PCR testing for COVID-19. Once the patient completes the test, the patient seals their test within a secure container and returns it to be processed in the lab. The sample collection process can be viewed here.

“We are excited to partner with Curative to offer our community more access to COVID-19 testing,” said Dr. Francisco Velazquez, Spokane County health officer. “With high transmission rates, the demand for testing has exceeded supply. The opening of two additional sites will help people know if they are infected with COVID-19 and take the precautions necessary to limit transmission to others.”
