Connect Chicago is a new initiative to expand community-based COVID-19 testing developed as a collaboration between Rush University Medical Center and Esperanza Health Centers in partnership with the Chicago Department of Public Health.
COVID-19 testing will be done at two locations and through at-home testing kits. The physical sites will also serve as a place for community residents to connect to the health care system and learn more about what resources are available at Rush and locally.
