Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) is proud to announce the opening of the PMC Diagnostic Center Drive-Thru Lab, a new facility designed to provide patients with faster and more convenient access to diagnostic testing.
The two-bay, climate-controlled lab, located at the PMC Diagnostic Center, is equipped to serve patients with efficiency and comfort in mind. With two lanes, the drive-thru system helps reduce wait times, allowing patients to complete their tests without leaving their vehicles.
Services offered, with a doctor’s order, include nose and throat swabs, blood draws and adult vaccinations. The lab is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., giving individuals plenty of flexibility to fit important testing into their daily routine. No appointment is necessary, making it even easier for patients to get the lab work they need.
PMC leaders say the addition of the drive-thru reflects the hospital’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to high-quality care in ways that are both innovative and patient-centered. By making diagnostic services more accessible, PMC aims to reduce barriers that can delay crucial testing and enable patients to take charge of their health.
