The distribution will be this Saturday, February 5th from 8AM to 10AM.

“You will receive three per household along with four test kits, each test kit comes with two individual tests so each household will receive two test kits per vehicle, so if you are bringing additional family members, we ask that you have a proof of residency with a different address because we are basing it solely the household and proof of ID,” said Sr. Director of Accreditation and Clinical Operations, Keturah Hayes. 

The masks and testing kits will be given out drive thru style. For more information you can visit our website, or call MCR Health at 941-776-4000.
