Kaiser Permanente study finds patients who need an emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement have greater risks

Most of the time, you can use an easy and reliable no-cost home antigen test for your COVID-19 testing needs. Not sure which COVID-19 test is right for you? See our guidelines on choosing the right COVID-19 test.

PCR tests are used when directed by your doctor or when you’re required to show a negative PCR test for international travel or in circumstances where self-tests are not an option, such as to prove a negative COVID-19 test. Please check testing requirements prior to choosing a testing option.

You can now get a rapid PCR test with results in 24 hours or less at our convenient Northern California Kaiser Permanente testing locations. To get your test, start with an E-visit.

Starting on January 24, 2023, Kaiser Permanente members will have more care options with the opening of our new Urgent Care Clinic located in the 1^st floor lobby of the Geary Boulevard Medical Office Building at 2238 Geary Blvd. Underground parking is conveniently located on site.

We have updated the visitation guidance for hospital and ambulatory settings based on the most recent public health order by the CDPH to include the key changes below:

Hospitals and clinics may now allow all patients to have visitors without restriction.

Visitors are no longer required to show proof of vaccination or of negative COVID-19 test result to visit their family or friends in the hospital.

As of April 3, 2023, per a public health order issued by the City and County of San Francisco, patients and visitors will no longer be required to mask, but we will continue to offer masks and strongly encourage visitors and patients to wear them, especially if visiting a patient in a double room. Per the order, health care workers are required to wear masks in patient care and public areas. Please adhere to all self-symptom screening required for entry to our facilities as posted at entry points.
