Mount Vernon (12/31/21) –Today, Mayor Patterson-Howard joined with stakeholders to announce the opening of a new testing site at Grace Baptist Church with extended hours and days. This move will provide relief for residents who have been dealing with long lines for testing around Mount Vernon. Additionally, a new flu/vaccine center in collaboration with Montefiore Mount Vernon Hospital will be opening in the parking lot across from Grace Baptist Church and will be operating seven days a week. Both sites will go online on Tuesday, January 4 and the duration of these new sites will be for at least two months.
The new “We’re All In” campaign, the first of its kind, is a cross-collaboration between the City of Mount Vernon, State of New York, Grace Baptist Church, Montefiore Mount Vernon Hospital, Mount Vernon Neighborhood Health Center and the Mount Vernon City School District.
