Franciscan Health’s Indianapolis and Mooresville hospitals will discontinue outpatient COVID-19 testing for symptomatic patients on Saturday.
The number of symptomatic outpatients seeking tests at both hospital locations has remained significantly low in recent months, hospital officials said in a press release on the closure.
Patients can still schedule appointments for tests with their Franciscan Physician Network doctor’s offices, Franciscan Express Care urgent care clinics, or through their primary care providers, hospital officials said.
For a list of sites in Johnson County and the southside that continue to offer testing visit coronavirus.in.gov/covid-19-testing-information/. Sites include Walgreens and CVS pharmacies, Johnson Memorial Health and the Johnson County Health Department.
Home test kits are also available at retail pharmacies and for purchase online.
