Arkansas Children’s has partnered with Natural State Labs (NSL) to provide drive-through testing services. NSL provides COVID-19 testing across the state. Through this partnership, we have expanded testing capabilities at the ACH (Little Rock) campus. Anyone, regardless of age, can get tested for COVID-19. Community providers no longer need to enter an order for their patients’ tests unless the test is for surgery clearance. All tests provided at Arkansas Children’s Hospital by NSL are PCR tests.
NSL. All other test results will be sent to patients from NSL through an electronic testing portal. Questions? E-mail NSL at support@naturalstatelab.com.

Test results should be available to patients within 24–48 hours.
Patients needing their COVID-19 test before surgery will enter the the COVID-19 ACH (Little Rock) testing site from a different route.
Many locations across central Arkansas offer COVID-19 testing for children. If your child has been exposed to COVID-19, please find the nearest facility to have them tested.
