A public health kiosk outside The Market at Eastpoint in Oklahoma City. The kiosk was set up by the county health department as part of a initiative to provide access to free resources for residents.

The Oklahoma City-County Health Department is launching a new program to give Oklahoma County residents free access to public health supplies.

Nine kiosks with free resources can be found in public spaces and community centers in Oklahoma City, Midwest City and Spencer. The kiosks include supplies like rapid COVID-19 and flu tests, emergency mylar blankets, early detection pregnancy tests, Narcan and fentanyl test strips.

The resources in the kiosks are available to all residents with no income verification required. Public health officials said the program is designed to meet the community’s needs for commonly requested public health items and empower residents to take proactive steps toward their well-being.

The public health kiosks were funded through grants from the Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program was designed with privacy in mind, giving residents a quick way to get health supplies without face-to-face interaction.

Public health items available at the kiosks:

- COVID-19 & flu at-home rapid tests
- COVID-19 antigen home tests
- Emergency mylar blankets
- Early detection pregnancy tests
- Naloxone HCL nasal spray (Narcan)
- Xylazine test strips
- Fentanyl test strips
