Jennie Stuart Health Expands Lab Resources

Jennie Stuart Health Expands Lab Resources

Jennie Stuart Health is proud to offer patients a community option for COVID-19 screenings, and are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of testing services at our drive-through site on Eagle Way, the Emergency Department, and our Convenient Care Clinic. We are diligently following up on patient results to provide timely responses for all tests being conducted. During this COVID-19 outbreak many labs around the country have seen overwhelming requests for testing causing delays in processing results. We recognized the need to expedite this process and have been in contact with our state and federal legislators asking for their assistance in getting resources for our community. For the health and safety of our patients, Jennie Stuart has already implemented the following actions:

  • Engaged additional sources to process specimens through partnerships with PTC and Diatherix Laboratories. With these additional resources we anticipate faster turnaround times, providing timely responses for patients waiting for results.
  • Patients seen at our testing site, Emergency Department, or Convenient Care Clinic for COVID-19 testing will receive a follow-up well check. If their condition has worsened, one of our healthcare providers will administer a Telehealth (virtual) visit, or they will be given instructions for further evaluation in the Emergency Department.
  • Continued and constant contact with legislators to explore all options to accessible federally approved testing labs.

As a healthcare provider, our patients are our top priority. We understand the importance of communication for the health and well-being of you and your family. Our team at Jennie Stuart Health will remain steadfast in service and in our commitment to patients.
