ATLANTA - EntSun -- Free COVID-19 testing, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) screenings will be available this Saturday, September 19, at Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church from 9am – 4pm.

Ebenezer is partnering with Allergy & Asthma Network, the leading nonprofit patient outreach, education, advocacy and research organization to provide the free services.
