COVID 19 Information

Due to the COVID 19/Corona Virus pandemic, Sheridan Memorial Hospital Association has activated its Incident Command with the purpose of preplanning for and mitigation of possible Corona Virus outbreaks in our community.

COVID 19 Testing

Sheridan Memorial DOES NOT currently offer SWAB TESTS FOR TRAVEL. This is due to the inconsistency of turnaround time of test results. We cannot guarantee a result from the State within required time.

Sheridan Memorial has the capabilities of doing a rapid swab tests for SYMPTOMATIC patients only; however, a second test will be done at the same time to send off to the state to confirm the rapid swab results. We cannot do rapid swabs for asymptomatic patients. Monitor your phone calls and voicemail for someone to contact you with your results.
