Need a Test For Surgery?

Most hospitals require a COVID-19 test before a surgery or procedure.  Samaritan’s Drive-Up Testing Site can do this regardless of where you are having surgery.  These tests are typically covered by insurance.  To schedule your test, you must call our pre-encounter department at 315-785-5700.

Samaritan surgical patients will be called directly or have an appointment made for them.
