Laboratory

About this service

The Laboratory provides medical and diagnostic services/testing, as ordered by physicians, to support diagnosis and treatment. Testing not available on-site is contracted through a reference laboratory.

To preserve confidentiality, and to ensure proper interpretation, lab results are only released to the ordering provider, but patients may also review them via the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal.

Special Notes

• Fasting Tests: If your doctor has requested a test that requires fasting (Glucose or Lipid Profile), you should not eat, smoke, or drink (except for water) for 12 hours prior to blood collection. Please drink plenty of water.
• Pregnancy testing requires a doctor’s order and a first morning void urine specimen. Results are available on the same day.
