WESTFIELD — A donation from the Chautauqua County Department of Health and the village of Westfield are helping AHN Westfield Memorial Hospital provide COVID patients and their families with at-home COVID-19 test kits.

The donation included a box of 90 Antigen rapid test kits. Each kit contains two tests.

The hospital will provide the kits to patients who come to the hospital sick with COVID-19, to be used as they recover at home, by themselves and their family members. .

“AHN Westfield really appreciates the donation of these test kits,” said Rodney Buchanan, WMH administrator. “They will be an invaluable resource to our patients as they recover at home and they’ll help family members who may be exposed to the virus to know their health status as well.”
