Where To Get A COVID-19 Test In Shaker Heights

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — There are three locations offering COVID-19 tests in Shaker Heights, and one in nearby Shaker Square, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

With supplies limited and demand high, Shaker residents will want to call ahead before visiting any of the below-listed locations seeking a test.

Here's where you can get a COVID-19 test locally:

• Shaker Heights Public Library, 16500 Van Aken Boulevard
• Shaker Heights Public Library, Bertram Woods branch, 20600 Fayette Road
• Hometown Urgent Care and Cooperation, 20300 Chagrin Boulevard
• CVS Pharmacy, 13215 Shaker Square, Cleveland

Earlier this year, the department partnered with libraries across Ohio to distribute free COVID-19 testing kits. In August alone, libraries issued more than 53,000 tests to Ohioans.

“As the delta variant spreads across the state and our students and teachers head back to school, there has been renewed interest in testing for COVID-19,” said Gov. Mike DeWine. “These tests – and Ohio’s amazing network of public libraries – make it easier than ever for Ohioans to get tested and to ensure that we are limiting the spread of the delta variant.”

If you can't find a test in Shaker Heights, the Ohio Department of Health maintains a database of all testing and distribution centers in Ohio.

“Until more people are vaccinated, testing will be an important tool, and we are committed to making it easy to access,” said Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, director of the Ohio Department of Health. “Our partnerships with libraries to make the at-home rapid tests accessible and convenient are a real breakthrough in our ability to get as many Ohioans tested as possible.”
