In response to the needs of our community, we’ve expanded our capabilities for COVID-19 testing for patients. Our COVID-19 drive-up specimen collection sites are available for those with a scheduled appointment. Only UT Southwestern providers can refer UT Southwestern patients age 12 and older for testing. Please note, a referral is required.
