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.

Radiology/X-Ray

Our Radiology Department is a fully-staffed, diagnostic facility. We provide for an array of services, from basic X-rays, angiographs, to state-of-the-art CAT (CT) scans. X-rays are one of your doctor's most valuable tools used in diagnosing your condition. All X-ray examinations are requested by your attending physician, and the results are reported to that doctor.
