Thank you for trusting us with your care. We are grateful for the overwhelmingly positive community response to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Many of our Ascension locations are beginning to provide the COVID-19 vaccine and will notify eligible patients as appointment times are made available. View vaccination updates for your local area. Appointments for the vaccine must be scheduled in advance. Persons without an appointment will not be able to receive the vaccine and walk-ins will not be available. We are working with local and state government and health agencies to help distribute vaccinations as they become available in our communities. Learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine.
