SIH Drive Through Testing Clinics: Carbondale & Marion
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) now allows testing for anyone with COVID-like symptoms, illness or risk factors without a doctor’s order. Testing is also available for those with or without symptoms who work in a healthcare facility, jails or prisons, first responders (paramedics, emergency medical technicians, law enforcement, firefighters) and/or support critical infrastructure (grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, gas stations, public utilities, factories, childcare and sanitation).
How to get tested
SIH asks individuals to reserve a test time online or call the SIH COVID-19 Hotline at 844-988-7800, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, daily, to speak with a medical professional about your risk and/or symptoms.
SIH staff wearing personal protective equipment will perform specimen collection, or nasal swabs, for COVID-19, flu and other respiratory illnesses through the driver's side or passenger side window. Patients will not have to leave their cars.
Once you receive testing
Samples are sent to a third-party lab for testing results and typically takes 2-3 days to process (but can take up to a week in some cases). After testing, you will receive a phone call for both positive and negative results.
COVID-19 Testing Locations
SIH has two drive-through testing sites. SIH Urgent Care in Marion and the former Region's Bank building at Rt. 13 and Poplar in Carbondale.
