Up to 85 per cent of doctors’ decisions about diagnosis and treatment are based on laboratory test results. At Eastern Health, the Laboratory Medicine Program performs tests and procedures that provide critical information to doctors, enabling then to diagnose, treat and monitor their patients’ conditions.

  

Timely, Accurate Results for Our Patients

Our technical, medical and clerical staff all work together to provide high quality diagnostic and consultative services for our patients.

 

These manuals contain important information you will need for the successful collection and handling of specimens. At the laboratory, a successful examination begins with proper specimen collection and handling. We care for each specimen as though it were our only specimen and we know you feel the same way about your patient too.
