Tri-C Westshore to offer free COVID-19 testing

Drive-thru and walk-up COVID-19 testing will be offered at the Westshore Campus of Cuyahoga Community College during fall semester through a partnership with Care Alliance Health Center.

Testing will take place on three Thursdays – Sept. 17, Oct. 15 and Nov. 12 – for Tri-C students, faculty and staff, as well as community residents. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

The program offers testing to individuals regardless of their symptom status, insurance status or ability to pay. Individuals will not be charged for the test. 

No appointment is necessary, though individuals are asked to call 216-317-1250 to get pre-screened to expedite the process. Testing will be done on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Westshore Campus is located at 31001 Clemens Road in Westlake. 

Testing will also be offered at three other Tri-C campuses — Eastern Campus in Highland Hills, Metropolitan Campus in Cleveland and Western Campus in Parma. Visit tri-c.edu/covidtest for more information. 

Individuals can also call to schedule testing appointments at the Care Alliance Central Clinic, located at 2916 Central Ave. in Cleveland.
