OHSU Offers Free COVID-19 Testing by Appointment at Portland Expo Center

There are many testing options available to Oregonians who experience COVID-19 symptoms or may have been exposed to someone who had COVID-19.

The newest coronavirus testing option in the Portland area is Oregon Health & Science University’s free, drive-through testing site at the Portland Expo Center, 2060 N. Marine Drive, which offers testing with an appointment only.

This OHSU community testing site is open to anyone who is over two months old, although a parent or guardian must accompany those under 15 to provide verbal consent for testing.

OHSU’s community COVID-19 testing site is open weekdays: 7:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Monday-Wednesday, and 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday-Friday.

No identification, proof of residency, Social Security Number or insurance is required, although OHSU may bill insurance if you have it. Maps and directions to the Portland Expo Center are available online; the public should enter on North Expo Road.
