Samaritan Laboratory Services

The laboratories of Samaritan Health Services hospitals are responsible for testing blood, all types of body fluids and tissue samples to determine the presence of illness or disease.

Lab tests for hospital inpatients and emergency-room patients are processed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Outpatient service hours are listed below for each hospital; appointments may be scheduled outside these hours through your primary care provider.

Samaritan recently consolidated some types of tests into one hospital or another, but since all of the labs are connected through a computer network, test results are available instantly anywhere in the system. Because results are often needed quickly — in some cases within 15 minutes — each hospital continues to maintain the core lab services necessary to serve their community. The hospital lab also serves as the blood bank and keeps an ample amount of blood on hand. 

All of our labs are licensed by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services - Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments program (CLIA), and accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) through June 19, 2014.
