Ridgewood NJ, The Valley Hospital has established a drive-by COVID-19 testing service for those patients experiencing symptoms who have been evaluated by their physician and provided with a prescription for testing. The testing service is located near the entrance to the Kurth Cottage Café.
Valley is committed to providing the highest level of care to our community in the most appropriate location. The service supports social distancing by minimize crowding in Valley’s Emergency Department, while freeing up staff to focus on those patients who require emergency medical care.
IMPORTANT: Only those individuals who have been evaluated by a doctor and have a prescription for a COVID-19 test can take advantage of the drive-by service.
If you do not have a doctor’s prescription, but are experiencing respiratory symptoms — such as a cough or difficulty breathing — or a fever, please call 1-800-VALLEY 1 (1-800-825-5391) to see if you meet the guidelines for testing.
