LABORATORY

Laboratory test results help diagnose illness and monitor treatment. The lab is open around the clock to perform these important tests.

Although a health care provider must order a laboratory test, he or she does not need to be a member of the Burgess Health Center medical staff. Lab tests can be performed close to home or work, no matter where a patient's doctor practices. All that is required is an order from a physician.

The College of American Pathologists certifies the lab. A pathologist visits weekly to offer consultations with primary care doctors.
