COVID Testing

All COVID-19 testing at Girdwood Health Clinic is dependent upon the availability of testing supplies. We offer COVID-19 testing through the State Public Health and commercial labs, in addition to rapid testing for eligible patients. If you are looking for an alternative method of testing please consider a Covid-19 home collection kit. These may be an option to meet your need:

BREAKING GROUND THIS SUMMER!

Construction on our new Clinic starts soon!  We are so fortunate to have been awarded a $5,000,000 grant from the Anchorage Municipality. Turnagain Arm Health Center has deeded the property on the corner of Hightower and Lindblad to the Clinic. We are so close to our goal, but we need your help to make this a reality.
