The McKenzie After-Hours Clinic is now offering rapid antigen testing for Covid-19 by appointment. The antigen testing can detect the presence of a specific viral antigen for the coronavirus and offers results in as little as 15 minutes.
Patients who are symptomatic for Covid-19 can call the clinic at 810-648-6202 to schedule a telehealth visit which will determine if a rapid antigen test is appropriate. If so, patients will receive instructions for a curbside test and collection at the McKenzie After-Hours Clinic which is located at 74 S. Elk Street in Sandusky. This test is not intended for general screening or those who have been exposed but are not symptomatic.
“As we continue to focus on the health and wellness of our local community, we are pleased to offer another testing option that delivers rapid results on evenings, weekends, and holidays,” said Billi Jo Hennika, Chief Operating Officer at McKenzie Health System. “We have made this process as simple and streamlined as possible so patients can get tested and receive an answer quickly to support ongoing individual and community health.”
The McKenzie After-Hours Clinic is located at 74 S. Elk Street in Sandusky. Hours are: Monday through Thursday – 4:30 to 9 p.m.; Friday – 1 to 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
