Bowen Center has added Mondays to its FREE COVID-19 Testing Site operations in Warsaw starting today. The additional day of testing was required to help meet the need of those requesting tests as cases continue to rise in the state. The testing site has been operating for 13 days and has already gone through 2,096 tests.

Those visiting the drive-up site for testing do not need a doctor’s referral or health insurance. Individuals 2 years and older should be tested if they have symptoms, have been exposed to someone who tested positive, are at high risk, or need to be tested as a work requirement.

The drive-up testing site is located in the parking lot of Bowen Health Clinic at 2219 E. Dubois Dr. in Warsaw, IN. You do not need to be a Kosciusko County resident to receive a free test. No appointment is required, and results will be sent by email or text within 3-5 days. Technicians at the site are bilingual.

Testing hours are:
Monday, Wednesday & Friday 10 AM – 6 PM
Tuesday & Thursday 11 AM – 7 PM
Saturday 9 AM – 3 PM

Officials at the site are urging pre-registration if you know a time that you plan on coming.

Partnering with the Indiana Department of Health and the Kosciusko County Health Department with assistance from the Northern Indiana Hispanic Health Coalition, Ivy Tech Community College – Warsaw, Kosciusko Community Hospital and WJ Carey Construction, the site will operate the free COVID-19 testing site at least through the end of June 2021. For questions call the Kosciusko County Health Department at (574) 372-3517 or (574) 372-2353.
