Testing Clinic Information
**Starting June 1st and moving forward during the summer months, samples will be picked up much earlier in the day (as early as 7 am). For most people, that means same-day processing and results are not likely. Most results will be returned the following business day. Most samples dropped on Friday will not be processed until Monday.**
