MedExpress centers provide COVID-19 testing
April 23, 2020 – MedExpress Urgent Care continues to evolve care efforts to meet the unique needs of Pennsylvania communities. COVID-19 testing is available at designated locations in Lycoming County. For the convenience and safety of our patients, MedExpress testing locations are completing COVID-19 testing from individuals’ cars, if needed, to further limit exposure. Testing is only available to those who meet CDC-based screening criteria.
“As one of the nation’s largest urgent care providers with locations across the country, MedExpress was uniquely positioned to serve our patients and communities by increasing access to COVID-19 testing,” said Dr. Alex Strachan, Chief Medical Officer for MedExpress. “We continue to adapt our approach throughout this unprecedented situation to best meet the evolving needs of our communities. As such, many of our centers are now offering testing outside of our facility from patient vehicles. We’ve also added the option for patients to visit a licensed health care professional virtually from the comfort of their own home.”
