FLORENCE, SC (WBTW) – The Medical University of South Carolina will open a third COVID-19 specimen collection site in Florence.
The three collection sites will be open for free walk-up and drive-through on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. and will rotate weekly:

“We want to reach our high-risk population to assist those individuals who don’t have access to
health care and those with health disparities. Everyone must have the proper access to care
and education to fight the coronavirus. We’re all in this together,” said Vance Reynolds, CEO,
MUSC Health Florence Medical Center.
“We will continue to leverage technology and use mobile units to expand access to COVID19 education, screening, testing, monitoring and treatment for patients in rural and
underserved areas,” said Patrick J. Cawley, M.D., MUSC CEO. “Serving the community in this way is at the core of what we do at MUSC, and I am incredibly proud of the innovative approach this team of people has created to meet people where they are and get them the care they need.”
