Did You Get Tested for COVID-19 at the Drive-Through Clinic?

If got tested for COVID-19 at the drive-through clinic, you will receive a text message from the Arkansas Department of Health within roughly 24 hours regarding your results and next steps. If you are directed to contact ADH, please do so immediately.

If you have a positive test result, you will also receive a secure message from a Pat Walker Health Center provider. The email will have a subject line of "You have an important message from PWHC," and include a link to the Patient Web Portal (myhealth.uark.edu). From there you will be able to read your message and exchange messages with a medical provider.

What if I wasn't able to attend the testing event?

The health center is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. (9 a.m. on Fridays) to 5 p.m. Evening and Saturday hours are currently available by TeleVisit only. Pat Walker Health Center will be closed for the Labor Day holiday.
