Starting Monday, November 9, outpatient swab-only testing for COVID-19
will move from Mile Bluff’s Emergency/Urgent Care Department to
the East Clinic of Mile Bluff Clinic in Mauston. The change in location
will allow for the expansion of testing times, which will be Monday through
Friday from 6 am to 4 pm, and Saturday from 6 am to 2 pm.
This service is intended for those who have minor, moderate, or no symptoms
of COVID-19, and the test is billed as an outpatient lab appointment.
Anyone interested in using this service is encouraged to reserve a spot
online. Reservations can be made 24-hours in advance.
