The Ironton-Lawrence County Area Community Action Organization (ILCAO) Family Medical Centers will partner with the National Guard over the next four weeks to provide COVID-19 drive-up testing throughout Lawrence County.
There is no charge for the testing but insurance may be billed for those who are insured. The testing will be done from 1:00 -6:00 p.m. on the next four consecutive Wednesdays as follows:
• September 30 – Proctorville Fair Grounds, 7755 County Rd 107, Proctorville, Ohio
• October 7 – Pick N Save Parking Lot – 1113 Ironton Hills, Ironton, Ohio
• October 14 – Ohio University Southern – 1804 Liberty Avenue, Ironton, Ohio
• October 21 – Pick N Save Parking Lot – 1113 Ironton Hills, Ironton, Ohio
Testing results normally take two days and will be accessible to individuals via an online portal when the results are final. Assistance will be provided for those unable to access the portal due to lack of devices and/or Internet availability.
Gary Roberts, Family Medical Centers’ Director of Operations, stated, “We are very pleased to collaborate with the National Guard, Ohio University Southern, the Proctorville Fair Ground, and the local Pick N Save to bring this much needed testing to our community. This kind of cooperative testing and tracing is a key factor in helping to battle this virus,” he continued.
Those wishing to be tested should bring a photo ID (if available) and any pertinent insurance information if insured. For more information on dates of testing, please call 1-888-217-2202.
