Health Pavilion North to reopen

FAYETTEVILLE – Feb. 3, 2022 – Cape Fear Valley Health System announced today that the drive-through COVID-19 testing site at Health Pavilion North will reopen next week, beginning Tuesday, Feb. 8.

On Jan. 24, the health system announced the site would be closed due to testing supply issues, and the site continued to be closed this week.

Vice President of Pharmacy and Cancer Center Christopher Tart said the combination of decreased demand for testing and resolved supply issues has made reopening the testing site possible.

“We are seeing demand drop, so our forecast for demand is improved,” Tart said. “We are also now confident that we have enough supplies to reopen the site and still be able to meet the testing needs of the hospitals and clinics.”

The testing site, which is located at 6387 Ramsey St., Fayetteville, will be open Tuesdays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. for individuals who are ages 5 and over. Testing is done on a first-come-first-served basis as capacity allows, no appointment necessary.

The site administers polymerase chain reaction (PCR) COVID-19 tests. Patients can access their results online through the myChart patient portal (www.capefearvalley.com/mychart), by calling (910) 615-TEST (8378), or in person at the Cape Fear Valley Health Pavilion North pharmacy. Results are typically available in 24 to 48 hours.

For patients with insurance, the COVID-19 tests are fully covered with no out-of-pocket costs. Patients without insurance will be billed $100.
