San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is partnering with Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care on the first rapid COVID-19 testing program for airport employees in the U.S., providing results in less than an hour.
Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care said response times for results could be reduced even further at the testing area located outside of the SFO international terminal and away from passenger traffic.
The program, which began with flight crew testing in July, enables airport workers to save their testing time in advance online via the GoHealth Urgent Care link shared by their employer.
“SFO continues to take action to protect the health and safety of both our employees and our travelers,” said Ivar Satero, SFO director. “Thanks to this partnership with Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care, SFO is the first U.S. airport to offer convenient testing for airport employees with rapid results.”
GoHealth Urgent Care is a national urgent care companies with a strong presence in the Bay Area and has been providing medical care to travelers and employees at SFO for more than two decades.
“We are pleased to expand our relationship with San Francisco International through this additional partnership providing employers and employees much-needed support to safeguard healthy returns to work during this pandemic,” said David Klein, MD, MBA, president and CEO of Dignity Health’s St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.
