Laboratory

Where a wide spectrum of tests on tissues, blood, and other bodily fluids are conducted throughout the year. These tests are essential in aiding healthcare providers to diagnose conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, infections, and pinpoint the causes of abdominal or chest pain.

Behind the scenes, the dedicated professionals working in the laboratory play a crucial role in the hospital, emergency department, and clinics, even if their efforts often go unnoticed. Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLTs) and Medical Technologists (MTs) both contribute to specimen preparation, operate automated laboratory analyzers, and perform manual testing. Phlebotomists play a key role in drawing blood samples from patients and may also assist in specimen preparation for medical testing.

It's important to note that Kimble Hospital's laboratory is CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) certified, ensuring the highest standards of quality and accuracy in testing procedures. These services are integral to the hospital's diagnostic and treatment capabilities, making a significant impact on patient care.
