Clinic Announcements

  1. At this time, to protect our patients and staff, it is crucial that we identify patients who are positive for COVID-19 prior to your arrival for your Sumner Health clinic visit.  Due to the surge of COVID-19 spreading throughout the Tennessee area, our COVID-19 physician team requires we resume the screening process for our patients before their clinic visit.
  2. Due to the low supply of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests, we are only testing patients currently with symptoms.
