New medical services, facilities announced for Belleville, O’Fallon and Edwardsville
HSHS Medical Group has opened a new drive-thru care facility in O’Fallon. HSHS Drive-Thru Care offers routine lab services, blood pressure checks, testing services and vaccinations without patients having to leave their cars.
“HSHS Medical Group is excited to bring drive-thru lab services to the O’Fallon community,” said James Bock, MD, HSHS Medical Group chief physician executive. “We want to provide health care in a convenient, yet safe, way to better meet our patients’ needs.”
A May 7 press release stated that patients can simply drive to the O’Fallon location and follow the signs. There are three bays that protect patients and the medical team from the elements. Once done, the patient simply drives away.
Appointments are not needed, but a doctor’s order from an HSHS Medical Group provider is required. The release states that COVID-19 tests must be scheduled through MyChart and that vaccine appointments are required.
HSHS Drive-Thru Care is located at 406 Hartman Lane in O’Fallon. Hours are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Friday. To schedule an appointment, call 618-825-7770 or schedule through MyChart.
