Laboratory Services

Our on-site Laboratory is in operation 24 hours daily, and performs a wide range of routine and emergency tests, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment. Our blood transfusion service uses a unique banding system for positive patient identification, and obtains 100% of its blood and blood products from the American Red Cross. Friends and relatives of transfusion recipients are encouraged to donate replacement blood through the Red Cross, and pre-surgery autologous (self) blood donations can also be arranged. Patients scheduled for outpatient surgery are required to come to the Laboratory within three days prior to surgery for laboratory tests ordered by their doctors.
