Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care Teams up With MSG Sports to Welcome Back Fans

Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care is working with MSG Sports to offer a convenient, trusted COVID-19 PCR testing solution for fans who have been welcomed back to Madison Square Garden. Teaming up with MSG is a natural extension of the expansive support Northwell-GoHealth providers have provided to the New York community throughout the pandemic.

"As New Yorkers look to resume some sense of normalcy ? and that includes attending Knicks and Rangers games at Madison Square Garden ?diagnostic testing continues to be an important way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19," said Adam Boll, executive director of joint venture operations at Northwell Health. "That's why MSG Sports has teamed up with Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care to provide PCR testing so fans can safely return to The Garden and enjoy a truly New York experience. The pandemic appears to be on a downswing and vaccination certainly offers protection, but testing is still the best defense to ensure that we stop the spread."

All MSG ticket holders must receive a negative COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours before the event and present the printed or mobile test results upon entry with a ticket. Northwell-GoHealth is ensuring that ticket holders who receive PCR testing through its custom, dedicated process will have their results in time for their MSG event.

After purchasing tickets, MSG Sports customers will receive a link to schedule a brief Virtual Visit where they will receive a clinical evaluation and a confirmed testing appointment as part of the telehealth session. Test results will be posted on a confidential Patient Portal in advance of the event. Most insurance plans cover COVID-19 testing at no cost to the patient under most circumstances.

"We are proud to support MSG Sports as it welcomes fans back to Madison Square Garden," said Susan Bortone, senior director of operations at Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care. "The custom COVID-19 PCR testing process we have designed for MSG Sports, combined with our deep COVID-19 clinical and testing experience, should give spectators confidence that their test results will be available in time for them to enjoy game day."
