sanctioned by the City of
Hawthorne, will be open to the community beginning
January 18th.

"Access to testing is a key component to stopping the spread of
COVID-19. I am proud to be partnering with Reliant Health Services
to provide testing to Hawthorne
residents for the next 6-months. We are all in this together, so

"The Omicron variant is very contagious. Most of the
transmission occurs before individuals have symptoms. Therefore,
it's critical that people have testing options that can easily be
accessed immediately after a suspected exposure," said Michael Daignault, M.D., Chief Medical Advisor
at Reliant Health Services. "We expect Omicron to circulate in the
community at high levels through the Spring. We need to normalize
having regular access to consistent and reliable diagnostic
testing."
