With the threat of a local COVID-19 outbreak ever-present, PMC is utilizing the telehealth platform for patients to communicate with physicians.
For qualified patients who need to have blood drawn for testing purposes, a drive-thru system has been implemented behind the outpatient diagnostic center in the riverfill, across from McDonalds.
Patients simply need to drive up to the registration area then proceed to the next area where their blood will be drawn. In the event patients have also been prescribed medication, they can proceed to the PMC Outpatient Pharmacy drive-thru. The overall goal in this process is to allow patients to see a physician, get any needed lab tests administered and pick up prescription medications with no direct contact with anyone other than a phlebotomist outside the diagnostic center. This is just one more way PMC is working to continue providing quality care while keeping as many people as possible out of the hospital facility.
Pikeville Medical Center is encouraging everyone to take the necessary steps to stay safe and well.
