MONTOUR FALLS, N.Y. — Schuyler Hospital in Montour Falls and Cayuga Health (CH) officials have announced that they will now offer COVID-19 saliva testing at their drive-thru location at the front entrance of Schuyler Hospital.
The sampling location was opened earlier this year and until now only offered swab testing. Swab testing is still available.
Cayuga Health includes both Schuyler Hospital and Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca.
The Schuyler Hospital testing site has “limited capacity” and is by appointment only Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Individuals seeking a saliva or nasal swab test will need to pre-register online.
Once signed up, individuals can arrive according to their appointed time. If an individual is registered for a saliva test, they cannot have any tobacco products or anything to eat or drink 30 minutes prior to their appointment.
“Being able to now offer both the nasal swab and the saliva test provides our community with options based on their own personal preferences or needs,” Rebecca Gould, president and CFO of Schuyler Hospital, said.
Online registration at all Cayuga Health/Schuyler Hospital sampling sites is available at www.cayugahealth.org for patients to review the screening criteria and pre-register before their arrival.
