COVID-19 Testing Site Now Open in Grand Center, No Out-of-Pocket Cost

2 years 11 months ago

There is now an easy way to get a COVID-19 test right in the heart of Grand Center.

Many St. Louisans visit the area to take in events at the Kranzberg Arts Foundation or to see a world-class show at The Fabulous Fox, but hot spots now require a vaccination card or a recent negative COVID-19 test to enter.

Located on the second floor at 3526 Washington Avenue, this testing site operated by Nomi Health now offers antigen and PCR testing. The site advertises “no out-of-pocket cost” and they accept insurance, but for those without insurance they say “no one will be turned away.”

The clinic is right next door to KDHX and is presented with support from the Kranzberg Arts Foundation and Grand Center, Inc., who help to sponsor the site in an effort to keep their businesses full and their patrons safe.
