New location offers expanded space for staff and patients
Gardner News
GARDNER The Community Health Connections new COVID-19 testing site at the former Prospect Street School has opened to the public. The new location, which replaces the group’s former site on Connors St., officially opened on Dec. 21.
Community Health Connections CEO and President John DeMalia said the new facility allows for increased capacity and the ability to accommodate patients during the cold weather.
“Our original testing site had a test setup outside for patients to walk up and be tested,” DeMalia said. “As the weather changed, this became unworkable. We then brought patients into our facility but significantly reduced the number of patients that we could test while still maintaining our normal services.”
