So far ?

"* mercyone north iowa president rod schlader says the response at the new site has been pretty positive ?

"* though it's been a tad confusing to find.

The reason for the move?

The site at the events center was meant to be temporary.

And the new site is more than adequate.xxx "it happens to have a drive thru garage which was perfect for what we needed, so people can still get tested in their car, they don't have to leave their car, and expose as few people as possible."

Testing at this site is only available to those who have been screened and referred by the mercy one family healthline.

"* you should call there first.

Live in mason city ?
