“In 2020, Azimuth Medical and SCT Medical Clinic adjusted operations to focus on the COVID-19
pandemic needs of Northeast Ohio. Testing, particularly at the holidays when loved ones and friends gather, is a critical component to stopping the spread of this deadly virus and keeping our community safe. We are honored to provide this free, accessible COVID-19 testing event to Northeast Ohio at a time when the demand for testing is high and COVID-19 cases surge in our community,” said SCT Medical Clinic Vice President Dr. Christopher Orr, PA-C and Azimuth Medical President Peter Orr, DNP, RN in a joint statement.
“The Health District is excited to support Azimuth Medical and SCT Medical Clinic in meeting this urgent need for the residents of Lake County,” said Health Commissioner Ron H. Graham. “With the recent surge in cases from the Omicron variant, we hope this will help our residents more safely enjoy the company of family and friends this holiday season.”
