Operating a screening and testing site in east Lawrence is an effort by Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to streamline its approach to COVID-19 screenings requested by local healthcare providers and to improve access for vulnerable populations.
The site is available by appointment through an order by a physician or Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health. With recently relaxed testing protocols, we encourage anyone currently experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19 to contact his or her primary care physician. Always call first before showing up at a provider.
Anyone without a primary care provider can call the Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health Coronavirus hotline, 785-856-4343. We have nurses online to provide initial screening and if needed, directions on how to get tested at our site.
