GALENA, Kan. (PRWEB)
February 08, 2022
Ivy Medical, an innovative leader in fully customized diagnostic lab testing solutions, has opened a new free, Covid-19 testing site at 217 W 7th St. in response to the rise in cases driven by the Omicron variant. The site is open from 9:00am-5:00pm, Monday through Saturday, and will offer no-cost rapid antigen and PCR testing. These hours may change as demand requires. No appointment or health insurance is required – patients can simply drive up or walk in. The Ivy Medical site is providing free rapid antigen tests, which deliver results within two hours, in addition to PCR tests, which take 24-72 hours for results.
“We know how hard it has been for families, students, and workers to get any Covid-19 test, let alone a free one,” said Tristan Steele, CEO of Ivy Medical. “Ivy Medical is proud to have been able to partner with the city of Galena to quickly set up a testing site that will help anyone in the area who needs a test, so we can protect ourselves, our friends and our neighbors by slowing the spread of Covid-19.”
These are the steps for anyone who wishes to take a Covid-19 test at the Ivy Medical testing site, which will be operating as long as demand requires.
1. Visit ivymedical.co/galena to set up a patient profile. This will help reduce your wait time once you arrive at the testing site.
2. Go to 217 W. 7th St. and check in with the parking lot attendant. Drive-up patients who have set up a patient profile will be directed to an express parking space, those who have not will need to go to a separate parking area and fill out a short information form.
3. A testing site staff member will come to you and administer your test. Rapid test results will be available within two hours, and PCR test results will be available within 24-72 hours.
Due to HIPAA regulations, Ivy Medical cannot discuss test results over the phone. Patients with questions about test results should contact 404-403-5336. For all other inquiries, please email hello@ivymedical.co.
