Sameday Health Launches Monkeypox Testing in California

Leading wellness provider launches services to support clients' and communities' wellbeing amidst a growing US outbreak

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --  Sameday Health, a world-class testing and wellness provider, announced today the rollout of monkeypox testing in its participating California clinics — including Venice, Manhattan Beach, West Hollywood, Westchester, and Downtown LA — with plans to expand into nationwide clinics coming soon.

The announcement comes after monkeypox was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization and a public health emergency in the United States. As of August 29, according to the CDC, there are over 18,000 cases of monkeypox in the United States, many of which are based in the Los Angeles region.

Sameday Health's monkeypox testing services utilize laboratory-developed saliva tests, a non-invasive, painless, and more efficient alternative to specimen collection from lesions.  Participating Sameday Health clinics offer the test for $125 dollars via self-pay. Clients should receive test results within forty-eight hours.

"No amount of awareness can solve an outbreak without accessible testing solutions that lower the barriers to care," said Felix Huettenbach, Sameday Health founder and CEO. "With the infrastructure and reach we have here at Sameday Health and our diagnostic services, we're doing our part to power community wellbeing as new public health threats emerge."

"Access to information is critical to protecting community health," said Patrick Emad, Sameday Health Executive Vice President of Clinics. "By offering a non-invasive and efficient monkeypox testing solution, we're helping strengthen community health and make crucial health services more available to vulnerable populations during this important moment."

Sameday Health's monkeypox testing joins their menu of other convenient and available same-day medical services, including COVID-19 testing, strep testing, flu testing, panel testing, IV drip therapy, wellness injections, and urgent care.
