Edgewood, KY – Kentucky Governor, Andy Beshear, announced Monday, May 4, that the state would be entering a new partnership with St. Elizabeth Healthcare for drive-thru testing and physician consult testing in Northern Kentucky.

The St. Elizabeth drive-thru testing site will be located at 25 Atlantic Avenue, Erlanger, KY. The site will be open Monday, May 11, through at least Friday, May 15, and will operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Interested residents with or without symptoms may call 1-800-737-7900 to schedule an appointment at the drive-thru testing location. Testing will be available by appointment only.

“As more test kits and supplies have become available, we want to test as many people as want to be tested to help provide additional peace of mind to our community,” shared Garren Colvin, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “As our community begins the phased approach to reopening, it is our goal to help support this in the safest way possible.”

Additional St. Elizabeth COVID-19 testing includes:

• St. Elizabeth Physicians Respiratory Care Clinics at Newport/Ft. Thomas and Florence Ewing Primary Care locations from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Patients referred to the Respiratory Care Clinics are evaluated by providers first to determine if a patient qualifies for COVID-19 testing.
• St. Elizabeth Physicians providers can schedule COVID-19 tests for symptomatic patients they have evaluated in person or by video visit who they determine need to be tested. Testing for these patients will take place by appointment at St. Elizabeth Physicians Urgent Care locations in Florence and Crittenden from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
