ROCKPORT — The Acute Respiratory Center (ARC), the COVID-19 testing site at Pen Bay Medical Center (PBMC), has relocated to 731 Commercial St., Rockport, and began testing patients at the new location on Thursday, October 8.

The ARC center is not a walk-in facility and a referral from your primary care provider is required for testing at the ARC.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, please contact your provider, who will refer you for testing, if indicated. If you do not have a primary care provider, call (207) 301-3040 and leave a message.

“We will return calls within 24 hours, in the order in which your message have been received,” said PBMC, in a news release.
