COVID-19 Testing Sites

In addition to testing at local hospitals, C.K. Newsome Center in downtown Evansville serves as a COVID-19 testing site, which is administered by OptumServe through funding from the IN State Department of Health.

The site is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Registration is required here or by calling 888-634-1116.

Testing is free to all and no medical insurance is necessary. However, residents with existing insurance are asked to provide that information during the scheduling process.
