St. John's United begins in-house COVID testing with new lab

St. John’s United can now test its employees and long-term care residents for COVID-19 after opening its own lab in downtown Billings earlier this month.
The company operates independent, assisted and nursing home living facilities. The facilities house around 550 residents and employ 700 staff.
St. John’s opened the lab in the Gainan Commons in downtown Billings and has already begun processing samples. The project has been in the works since October, and specific licensing was needed to open a certified lab.
