As part of the ongoing COVID-19 response efforts at Good Samaritan, our
Physician Network has established a Suspected Respiratory Illness Clinic
to assess patients with a drive-thru triage service. Please call
812-885-3331 before coming to this clinic. This will help us determine if a virtual
visit may be appropriate for you.
Location:
Convenient Care Clinic
1813 Willow Street, Vincennes, IN
Hours:
Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This site will be following the approved guidelines for testing of COVID
-19. It will NOT only be a testing site, but also a medical triage location
for assessing patients' conditions. Those who have already recevied
a physician order for COVID-19 testing, do not enter the drive-thru lane;
please pull into an "Orders Only" parking space in front of
the building.
Good Samaritan is increasing outpatient COVID-19 testing to include symptomatic
patients that meet any of these criteria:
- Are age 60 or older
- Have Diabetes
- Have Chronic Lung Disease
- Have Cardiovascular Disease
- Have Chronic Renal Disease
- Others who will be considered for testing include individuals with known
high-risk exposure, such as contact with a confirmed positive individual
and travel to certain areas with high COVID-19 cases; and symptomatic
patients that work in high contact areas where social distancing is difficult.
Previously, testing guidelines required the patient to have had a known
exposure or be hospitalized to be eligible for a COVID-19 test. As a reminder
some of the key symptoms are: Fever, dry cough, fatigue, myalgia (muscle
pain), shortness of breath, and sore throat.
You will receive care from our excellent team who will give further instructions
on how to care for yourself at home, or if necessary, arrange for further
assessment at Good Samaritan.
