The laboratory tests listed in our test directory can be collected at any of our locations, except when noted in the test directory. A small minority of laboratory tests may not be collected at all locations because of specimen stability issues. Tests not performed on-site in our hospital laboratories will be collected and then referred to a testing laboratory.
