ROCK SPRINGS — There are some temporary changes ahead for the drive-thru swab station and
the drive-thru vaccine clinic at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County.

The waterline that supports the hospital’s fire suppressant system will undergo repairs, said Deb
Sutton, MHSC Public Information Officer. Construction crews will be on-site next week to work on
the lines for up to three weeks. Beginning Thursday, September 9, they will block off the drive-thru under
the hospital’s main entrance.

During that time, the COVID-19 swab station and vaccine clinic will move to the southwest end
of the campus next to the Specialty Clinics.

Motorists are asked to please enter the campus from College Drive. DO NOT enter the clinics
from Skyline Drive. Signs will guide you to the hospital’s mobile healthcare clinic in the southwest
parking lot. Drivers will pull through, just as they do now. Once your swab has been taken, you will
be asked to exit behind the hospital on Skyline Drive.

Here’s a breakdown:
Swab Station Drive-thru: The swab station will continue to operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday through Saturday. It will be open on Monday, the Labor Day holiday.
Beginning Thursday, it will move from the hospital’s main entrance to the mobile healthcare
clinic. (See the map.)

Vaccine Drive-thru: Anyone wanting a COVID-19 vaccine will soon have more days to pick
from. Beginning September 14, the vaccine drive-thru clinic will be open from 3-6 p.m. every Tuesday and
Wednesday. It also will operate out of the hospital’s mobile healthcare clinic in the southwest parking
lot.

Patients will be asked to wait for 15 minutes before leaving the campus. To maintain safe traffic
flow, drivers are asked to exit via the back of the hospital onto Skyline Drive. For more on this and all that Sweetwater Memorial has to offer, go to sweetwatermemorial.com.
