SAN LUIS VALLEY — Public Health encourages everyone with interest to take advantage of the free community mass testing event set up by Adams State University in conjunction with Mako Medical, the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, and the Alamosa County Public Health Department this weekend, Sept. 19th and 20, at the Adams State University campus.

This is a drive-thru testing event that will be held in the McDaniel Hall parking lot on the Adams State Campus from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  both days.

Pre-registration is recommended, although on-site registration will be available. To
