Southern 7 Health Department is making bloodwork more convenient for patients across the region. Starting September 15th, residents can get lab draws at local Southern 7 clinics through a new partnership with LabCorp Paducah.

The move is designed to cut travel time, improve access to care, and get results back to providers faster. Patients can bring or fax their doctor’s order, and while walk-ins are allowed, appointments are recommended.

A ten-dollar collection fee applies, with additional lab costs for those without insurance. Results will go directly to the patient’s provider.
