Drive-Thru lab opens Nov. 2

A new option for outpatient lab testing opens at 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2. King’s Daughters Drive-Thru Lab, 2406 Carter Ave., provides patients with the opportunity to have laboratory testing performed without leaving their vehicles.

“Over the spring and summer months, we offered a variety of drive-up services at locations throughout the area,” said Shawn Boggs, executive director of diagnostic testing for King’s Daughters. “We wanted to be able to continue to provide drive-through options to our patients throughout the fall and winter months,” he added.

Located adjacent to King’s Daughters Information Technology Center, the drive-thru will be open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Patients will enter through Mayo Plaza and exit onto Carter Avenue.

Two existing drive-up testing locations in Ashland will be consolidated into the new facility, Boggs noted, adding that drive-through services being offered at King’s Daughters locations outside of Ashland will continue to operate as previously.

In addition to offering laboratory testing, the new Drive-Thru will provide scheduled COVID-19 testing.
