Sacred Heart Reopens Drive-thru COVID-19 Testing Due To Demand
August 14, 2021
With the resurgence of COVID-19 in the area, Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart is resuming its drive-thru COVID-19 testing beginning Saturday.
Justin Labrato, chief operating officer for Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart, said there has been a significant demand for COVID-19 testing at Ascension Sacred Heart’s emergency rooms, urgent cares centers, pediatric and primary care offices over the past couple of weeks.
“We decided to re-open the Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart COVID-19 drive-thru testing center in Pensacola to help our residents get reliable COVID-19 testing that they need quickly and conveniently,” he said.
No appointments are needed. Sacred Heart will offer the commonly used PCR testing to those who do not have COVID-19 symptoms and the rapid COVID-19 tests to those exhibiting symptoms of the virus. After Saturday, the hours of operations for the center off Bayou Boulevard will be each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

When I got my shot 3 weeks ago I was the only one there getting one.
I was late getting one but I don’t really go into crowds and have always been OCD about washing my hands. Even after touching the mail.
The Delta variant made my decision an easy one.
I see so many people I know dropping like flies from COVID and not one died from the vaccine. My arm felt like Mike Tyson punched me for a few days and I did feel like I was fighting a fever once in a while but my temps always stayed good.
I’m so glad I did it.
