ELDORADO – Ferrell Hospital in Eldorado says its outpatient lab draw services will begin today following significant efforts to restore services after the devastating flooding damage from the May 8 storms.

Despite ongoing restoration work, the hospital is committed to ensuring patients have access to essential lab services.

Beginning today patients can get outpatient lab draws at Ferrell Hospital from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Patients can schedule lab appointments directly by calling 618-297-9602. Walk-in patients for the lab are welcome but will be scheduled around those who have pre-registered. Please remember to bring your paper orders when you visit.

In addition, outpatient cardiology services (EKG and Holter monitors) and some oncology services (initial evaluations, injections, and removal of chemo balls) are also now available at the hospital.

As a reminder, the hospital remains closed to emergency services.
