College students now eligible for COVID testing

St. John’s Health, in partnership with the Teton County Health Department, has expanded COVID testing criteria to accommodate college and preparatory school students who are required by their schools to document a negative COVID-19 test prior to returning to their out-of-area campus.

“We are grateful for the support of the Teton County Health Department to be able to meet this community need,” said St. John’s Health CEO Paul Beaupré, MD.

In order to participate, students must have Teton County, WY resident identification and documentation of school testing requirements. Students whose educational institutions will be conducting their own tests (e.g., the University of Wyoming) are not eligible for the St. John’s testing program.

To schedule a test, call the COVID hotline at 307.739.4898, ext. 3.
