In a collaborative effort to enhance public health, Washington County and Ramsey County are coming together to set up a pop-up clinic that will offer complimentary STI testing. Scheduled for Monday, January 12, 2026, between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., the clinic will be hosted at the Central Service and License Center located at 1261 Woodlane Drive, Woodbury, MN 55125.
The temporary clinic is a walk-in facility, making it accessible for individuals who may face barriers in scheduling appointments. The provided services will encompass testing for a range of sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis C. This initiative underscores the counties' commitment to preventing the spread of STIs and supporting community wellbeing.
For those interested in accessing these services, no prior arrangement is necessary. The clinic emphasizes that anyone can walk in within the specified time frame to get tested. It is a confidential, judgment-free opportunity for community members to take charge of their sexual health without the burden of costs or the need for insurance.
Additional information regarding the clinic is made available for the public, and individuals with questions or concerns can reach out directly by phone. According to the Washington County official announcement, those needing further clarification can contact the service center at 651-430-6655, to get more details about the testing process and what to expect during the visit.
Free clinics such as this one are crucial in the ongoing battle against the rise of STIs.
