Beginning Monday, Baptist Health Richmond is providing drive through COVID-19 testing for patients who have a scheduled surgery or procedure.
Patients who have a scheduled surgery or procedure are required to complete the COVID-19 test 72 hours prior to their appointment.
Baptist Health Richmond Vice President Pat Olds said the hospital’s top priority is to ensure patients and staff are safe while continuing to provide the best patient experience. All drive-through COVID-19 tests will be scheduled for each patient with an upcoming surgery or procedure.
Tests will be conducted at the north entrance of the Richmond hospital Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.?
