A physician’s order IS NOT required for an appointment at AHN’s mobile clinic, but an appointment is encouraged to minimize wait times. Patients can make an appointment by calling AHN’s 24/7 Nurse On Call-line (412-NURSE4U – or 412-687-7348).
What to expect when arriving at the mobile testing site:
- Patients will walk or drive through a secured, marked area.

- The sample is collected via a nasal swab and the process typically takes less than 30 seconds, not including any wait times.
- Testing results for the coronavirus typically take 5-7 days, depending on regional test volume. Individuals will be contacted directly with their results. As volumes increase, wait times for results may be longer.
