The
Laboratory is fully accredited by the College of American Pathologists.
This voluntary certification is our way of ensuring that the highest
standards of quality are met at all times.
The
registration process on the first floor of the Outpatient Clinic is
required for all lab work. Patients are also welcome to come in after
hours or weekends and register through the Emergency Room, then proceed
to the Laboratory for testing.
If you are taking aspirin or
a blood thinner (Coumadin), please notify the lab phlebotomist before
having your blood drawn. Certain tests require an 8-12 hour fasting
period. No appointment is necessary for laboratory testing.
Testing
results are given to the physician who ordered the test upon
completion. Most tests are completed on the day of testing, but others
take several days depending on the test performed. Most test results
can also be picked up by the outpatient in person.
