The City of Austin, Travis County, Williamson County, and Hays County have issued shelter-in-place orders, dubbed “stay home, work safe,” that will remain in effect through April 10 (Hays County) and April 13 (Travis and Williamson Counties).

All Austin Regional Clinic locations remain OPEN and available for established and new patients. We will not cancel any already scheduled appointments and we are scheduling new appointments for primary care and specialties too. We continue to use COVID-19 patient safety protocols in all of our clinics, asking any patients with symptoms to wait in their cars until we are ready to see them.

With our continued commitment to care for you, your loved ones, and our community, we want to keep you aware and informed about COVID-19. For the safety of patients and staff, we have implemented additional procedures in our clinics and on our phone lines.

Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) will open “drive-up” COVID-19 testing this week in tents outside five ARC locations in Austin, Cedar Park, Kyle and Round Rock.
