What Is Point of Care Testing?
Point of Care Testing is a type of medical testing done at the time and place of patient care—like your local pharmacy. These tests are quick, simple, and provide immediate results so that decisions about treatment can happen on the spot.
We offer tests for common conditions such as:
COVID-19
Influenza (Flu)
Strep throat
Blood glucose
A1C for diabetes
Cholesterol
Unlike traditional lab testing, POCT doesn’t require you to make a doctor’s appointment, wait for lab referrals, or delay treatment. It’s healthcare, simplified—so you can start feeling better right away.
When Should You Consider Point of Care Testing?
Point of Care Testing is ideal when you need answers quickly and conveniently. Here are some situations when POCT can make a big difference:
Sudden illness: If you wake up with a sore throat, fever, cough, or body aches, we can test for flu, strep, or COVID on the spot.
Monitoring chronic conditions: If you manage diabetes or high cholesterol, our A1C and lipid panel testing can help you stay on track between doctor visits.
No time for appointments: If you’re busy and can’t get in to see your provider, POCT is a fast and reliable alternative.
Preventive health checks: Not feeling sick? Great. Use POCT to catch potential issues early—before they turn into something more serious.
Peace of mind: Sometimes, you just need to know. Fast testing gives you answers so you can act with confidence.
We’re here to help you make informed choices, whether you’re dealing with symptoms or just staying proactive about your health.
