Getting Medical Assistance

​

If you are not able to reach your doctor (or your child's doctor) and a family member is showing symptoms, call the Yale New Haven Hospital COVID-19 Call Center: (203) 688-1700. 

​

If you do not have health insurance and need medical assistance, including if you are an undocumented immigrant, call Fair Haven Community Health Center which is not charging people without insurance during the crisis (this can also be helpful to immigrants concerned about the "Public Charge" rule). Their number is (203) 777-7411.

​

Both Fair Haven Community Health Center (203) 777-7411 and Cornell Scott - Hill Health Center (203) 503-3000 have tele-health (video with medical staff) and have many options to make their services affordable or even free. Do not avoid health care because of cost!

Getting Tested

​

Several COVID-19 locations are now available in New Haven in multiple neighborhoods, these include sites run by Fair Haven Health Clinic, Cornell Scott Hill Health Center, CVS and Yale New Haven Hospital.  They all have slightly different approaches so visit the City of New Haven's testing map tool to find a location that works for you.
