Medical Center Laboratory is your full service laboratory located
at the hospital to serve the community needs with quality reporting.
We strive to offer a wide range of testing for in-patient, out-patient
and emergency room visits that will assist your provider with
your health care needs.
The laboratory
is staffed with an experienced phlebotomist, 3 licensed Medical
Technologists and 2 licensed Medical Laboratory Technicians. Their
goal is to provide a positive experience during your visit to
the laboratory, as well as quality reporting in a timely manner.
They are proud to be able to have the results
of your tests on the same day that you have lab work drawn at
our facility. Tests that are not done at SMC Laboratory are sent
to our reference laboratory in Bismarck, ND.
We are capable of drawing all of your testing
from referral providers, not only from our clinics, but from any
licensed provider. Our requirement is that you bring in or have
sent to us, a written, signed order from your provider. We will
draw your labs, run the testing and call , fax or mail the reports
to your provider. Most of these reports will reach your provider
the same day or within 24 hours.
We are a certified third party urine drug
screen collectible site for both DOT and NON-DOT collections.
