The holidays have come and gone with many families celebrating together virtually. Schools are slowly returning back to in-person learning. Jobs are picking up the pace. And people will begin interacting with others more. This global pandemic has been difficult for so many people and has changed the way we live, work, socialize and educate. The circumstances under which many of us found ourselves probably left a great majority of us feeling uncertain about the future.

As workplaces rejuvenate again, many schools are putting in measures to attempt opening up to in-class learning. The daily buzz of life is struggling to return to a new normal. These circumstances are increasing the risk of creating yet another surge in Covid-19 transmission and infection rates. Many companies and schools, in efforts to help manage the spread, are requesting that their students and employees produce negative Covid-19 test results before returning back to in-person activities. Many coworkers may be displaying Covid-19 symptoms, and for the safety of their families, some people would like to be tested before spending too much time with loved ones.

IL Medical Supply is an Algonquin-based medical testing lab that has recently opened its doors to the public. They have been diligently preparing to tackle the growing Covid-19 crisis by training staff and keeping test kits in stock to help better service the local community. Their process is simple - you can schedule your appointment online and they also offer drive-up testing - which makes the experience quick and easy. They accept all insurance providers for payment and the whole testing procedure takes only about 10-15 minutes. If the required forms are completed online prior to an appointment, it can take even less. One does not have to step foot out of their vehicle nor self-swab. Many places, in an effort to remain no-contact, will have patients self-swab, which leave a lot of patients insecure as to if they conducted the test correctly to produce accurate results. IL Medical Supply is one of the few sites that offer quick results for their testing and also do not absolutely require an appointment. Their sites also accept the uninsured, providing cost-effective out-of-pocket prices for all testing.

Not only is Covid-19 drive-up testing one of their popular offerings, IL Medical Supply also conducts over 100 routine health tests that involve blood-work, urine samples, pregnancy testing, DNA testing and drug testing. Their specialized lab technicians are capable of drawing samples for any health condition in any age group and reporting all results back to patients or physicians within 24-48 hours. Very soon, they anticipate carrying the Covid-19 vaccinations that are to be rolled out according to IDPH’s vaccination phasing program allowing the general public to receive vaccinations at little to no out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, IL Medical Supply also offers Durable Medical Equipment as well as Personal Protective Equipment to all. From geriatric equipment to health supplements to medical-grade cleaning supplies, IL Medical Supply has been striving to serve the local community with products that are from trusted suppliers and are durable, easy-to-use and cost-effective.

Learn more about them on their website (www.ilmedicalsupply.com). IL Medical Supply also has a very active Facebook page that allows community interaction with daily posts and updates ranging from Covid-19 information, to daily health tips, to local events involving public health. They are here to serve and support McHenry & Kane Counties and surrounding areas.
