If you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, these are your options for testing:
Call your primary care provider for an assessment or advice.
If you do not have a primary care provider, please call Hunterdon Health’s Physician Referral Service at 1-800-511-4462.
If you are exhibiting symptoms and do NOT have a primary care provider, you may visit one of Hunterdon Health's Urgent Care Centers. If you meet the criteria for testing after an evaluation has been performed, a COVID-19 test will be administered. At this time, we are NOT accepting physician prescription orders for a test, we are not conducting antibody testing, and we are not doing travel or return to work testing. Thank you.
Testing for COVID-19 is a key tool to manage the virus's spread in New Jersey. Testing allows individuals to take informed steps—staying home to prevent spreading the virus or seeking timely treatment to reduce severe illness risk. If you feel unwell or have been exposed, please get tested to protect yourself and those around you. Please visit the NJ Department of Health for details on how to get tested in New Jersey.
Visiting a Patient at Hunterdon Medical Center
All visitors must perform hand hygiene before visiting a patient.
Once in the hospital, visitors shall remain in the patient’s room (or Emergency Department room/bay) as much as possible throughout the visit, except when directed by hospital or facility staff to leave during an aerosol-generating procedure or other procedures in which visitors are usually asked to leave.
All visitors must comply with all reasonable requirements imposed by the hospital or facility to minimize the potential spread of infection.
Beginning March 28, 2023, in all Hunterdon Health facilities, masks became optional for visitors, patients, and staff, with some exceptions. Masking will still be required where it is part of the routine infection prevention process. For example, staff caring for COVID-19-positive and COVID-19-suspected patients will be required to wear masks.
If visitors or patients have symptoms of an infectious illness, have had a positive COVID-19 test within the past 10 days, or have had exposure to COVID-19 infection, they will be required to wear a mask.
If a COVID-19 resurgence calls for a return to masking, Hunterdon Health may change these protocols in the future.
