The BHS Laboratory has advanced innovative instrumentation complimented by professional expertise in microbiology, pathology, chemistry, hematology and cytology.
Our lab provides blood work and testing throughout the area, for patients, physician offices, and long-term care facilities and is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and licensed by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA).
Accreditation with the CAP means that our lab receives assistance with adhering to the strictest and most comprehensive scientifically endorsed standards. In addition, all lab results are tested by studious professionals for accuracy. To qualify for accreditation, our lab and staff were put through a rigorous inspection in which any deficiencies were pointed out and required immediate remedy before passing. The lab is reviewed every 2 years to ensure that these standards are maintained.
BHS Laboratory services provides the convenience of having testing done locally and the assurance of high-quality and personal service. From basic blood work to more complex testing and treatment demands, BHS has the clinical laboratory facilities, equipment and professionally trained staff to handle a broad range of needs. A physician order is required to draw blood samples. Most lab tests can be completed during normal business hours without an appointment. Please note that some tests may require fasting. Your physician should indicate if fasting is necessary for the test. In some cases specimens may be collected at home and dropped of at the lab.
