  • 1.  COVID testing center/space

    Posted 12-23-2023 19:11

    Hello, 

    Does anyone utilize COVID drive-up, mobile van, tent etc for COVID PCR testing instead of clinic space? 

    Thank you!

    We have done both a drive up in the back of our clinic (outside) and have used the Emergency bay as well.  Both have proved to be do able w/processes in place to make it go well.

    Hello, 

    I hope you're doing well. We swab the veterans in their  vehicle. There's no designated tent or spot due to limited parking space. We have two scheduled appointments 10am & 1pm Mon/Thurs. 10am only on Fridays. If a vet walks into the clinic, the vet is instructed by MSA to return to vehicle and await call from nurse to discuss symptoms. The nurse explains the appointment process etc. I hope this helps!

    We have created a drive through service that offers a variety of testing and vaccination options: Fastlane (bellin.org)
