Laboratory Services

Compass Memorial Healthcare's laboratory provides a full line of comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic laboratory tests. Laboratory testing is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week to support the Emergency Department and In-patient Services. The lab is staffed by medical technologists, technicians and laboratory assistants who are committed to providing excellent care for their patients. State-of-the-art instrumentation and information systems are utilized to ensure accurate and precise test results in a timely manner for you and your healthcare provider. Results of testing will be forwarded to your healthcare provider upon completion.
