Laboratory
Experience and a dedication to quality patient care is the mission of the SMH Laboratory Department. Our staff is highly qualified, experienced, dedicated and committed to making your experience a pleasant one – while ensuring meticulous attention to your safety and care.
The SMH lab team focuses on meeting patient needs whether it is making arrangements for a blood draw to fit your busy schedule or answering questions about specific tests. Additionally, we are committed to fast reporting back to the provider who referred you for the lab tests initially. We understand the information we provide is essential to helping you and your doctor move forward with your care plan.
Ours is a full-service laboratory. Aside from standard blood tests to check cholesterol and other health issues, we provide urine drug screens, HIV testing, blood banking, thyroid profiles, blood alcohol testing, RSV testing, MRSA screens, C-Difficile testing, bacterial culture identification and sensitivity testing. We also provide area employers with drug screen chain of custody collections for pre-employment, post accident or random drug testing, influenza A&B testing and rheumatoid arthritis testing.
The SMH Laboratory is open for outpatient specimen collection 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
