With the continuing spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in the U.S., Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center is working closely with state and local health authorities to provide the best possible care to our patients.
If you think you may have COVID-19, call our COVID-19 hotline service at 808-697-3170. Health professionals running this hotline will determine if you meet the criteria for testing and will advise you on next steps. It's important to call ahead before going in person to any WCCHC clinics.
Do not go to your local emergency department just for COVID-19 testing. The emergency department is for those who need the most critical care, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache or other potentially life-threatening problems. If you are experiencing these symptoms, go to the nearest emergency department or call 9-1-1.
