Half of University Place clinic staff out sick, creating COVID testing challenge

Dr. Ariel Carmichael has seen how devastating COVID-19 can be to the workplace firsthand, especially as a medical worker.

“Half of my clinic is out sick with COVID right now, because all the people keep coming into my clinic saying, ‘Hey I think I have COVID,’ spreading it to my staff,” she said.

Despite telling people the University Place Medical Clinic isn’t set up for mass testing, Carmichael says people still come in looking to get tested.

Now her clinic has partnered with the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department and OURChurch in University Place to run a mass testing site.
