Do not report to our Emergency Department for COVID-19 treatment/testing if you have mild or no symptoms. Do not walk-in for non-emergency care: To schedule an appointment, call 412-822-3000 or send a secure message to your provider via MyHealtheVet.

COVID-19 testing: COVID-19 testing is by appointment only. If you have a sore throat, dry cough, shortness of breath or fever, call 412-360-6000 and select option #3 to speak to a nurse before visiting our facilities or to schedule an appointment for testing at University Drive.
