Health Department
The Geary County Public Health Department (GCPHD) will begin offering in-clinic rapid testing for COVID-19, Influenza A, and Influenza B starting November 3, 2025. Results will be available in approximately 15 minutes.
This service is designed to support individuals experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness who need timely testing and documentation for work or school. By offering this option locally, GCPHD aims to reduce unnecessary visits to urgent care or emergency departments, helping residents save both time and cost.
Although GCPHD does not prescribe or dispense medications, staff will provide evidence-based health guidance following testing. This includes recommendations for rest, appropriate over-the-counter symptom management, and information on when to seek further medical evaluation from a primary care provider or urgent care facility.
Testing begins: Monday, November 3, 2025
Testing Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–10:00 a.m.
Location: Geary County Public Health Department
