Multiple COVID-19 Testing Sites Up and Running

Thanks to the partnership between multiple organizations in the community, there are multiple sites set up to test for COVID-19. Sheridan Memorial Hospital (SMH), in partnership with Sheridan County Public Health and local pediatric clinics, have established multiple sites and they are up and running now.

If you are experiencing the classic COVID-19 symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath, you should call the dedicated COVID-19 phone number at 307-672-1004 to seek advice about whether or not testing is indicated.

Tests are being administered in a number of locations around town, depending on how you are screened.  The provider who orders your test will direct you to the appropriate testing location at the time of your screening.

CEO Mike McCafferty stated, “It is important for us to provide convenient and scalable testing locations that offer a private and safe environment for our patients, the community and our healthcare workers.”

Dr. John Addlesperger, Chief Medical Officer for SMH said, “It is really important that those who have been tested go straight home and self-isolate until the results of the test have been received.”

For patients 12 and under, a separate testing location has been established. Parents can call 307-675-5555 to visit with a pediatric specialist and determine whether testing is needed.
