Dayton Children's opens COVID-19 drive-thru testing

Dayton Children’s Hospital has announced three drive-thru COVID-19 testing options for children.  The locations are:

• 884 Valley Street, Dayton — down the street from the main hospital
• 3300 West Tech Road, Springboro — directly across the street from the Dayton Children’s south campus
• 865 West Market Street, Troy — behind the Troy outpatient care center

Parents of any child (under 21) with a physician’s order can get a COVID-19 test at the drive-thru.

“This option is quicker and easier for families,” says Ben Goodstein, vice president of ambulatory services. “It has the added benefit of reducing exposure – both to the child who is sick and others in the hospital.”

What you need to know:

• Must have a physician’s order – this can be sent electronically or a paper copy presented at time of test
• Bring insurance information
• Wear a mask
• Check testing hours at childrensdayton.org
