The Morongo Basin Community Health Center will provide drop-in testing at its two clinic locations on a first-come-first-served basis. No appointment is needed. Participants remain in their vehicle and self-administer the test with a medical swab. Tests will be offered Mondays and Wednesday at the Yucca Valley clinic on Highway 62, and on Tuesdays and Thursday at the Twentynine Palms Split Rock clinic. Testing is offered at both locations from 9 to noon. Participants will be asked for a photo ID and insurance information, but no one will be turned away for lack of insurance. Flu shots are also available. Results will be ready in 48 to 72 hours. Visit the District’s website at MBHDistrict.org for more information about the testing process.
LOCATIONS: Mondays and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Yucca Valley clinic, 58375 Highway 62; and Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to noon, at the 29 Palms Split Rock clinic.
Participants will be asked for their photo ID and medical insurance information so the insurance company can be billed directly. No co-pay or share-of-cost will be collected. All insurances are accepted. If uninsured, participants will not be turned away. Flu shots are also offered at the test location.
Results of the test will be provided within 48-72 hours by calling a designated number.

“We want to get as many San Bernardino County residents tested for COVID as possible,” said Jackie Combs, CEO of Morongo Basin Healthcare District. “It is our goal to get San Bernardino County downgraded to the less restrictive red tier.” Currently, San Bernardino is designated in the more restrictive purple tier by the state of California, meaning more businesses are closed.
