BUCKHANNON, W.Va. — St. Joseph’s Hospital is revising its drive-through testing hours for COVID-19 on Saturdays to 8 a.m. to noon. Testing is available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is closed on Sunday. Testing is done at the drive-through trailer in front of the hospital.
There are two types of testing. The free state testing does not require a physician’s order and you will receive your results in approximately two business days. If you need results more quickly, a provider’s order is required. Rapid testing is not available. Patients needing testing are asked to go directly to the trailer and not enter the hospital.
If you have questions about COVID-19, call St. Joseph’s Hospital Nurse Triage Line at 304-473-2161, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
