The lab, the equipment within it and the technicians are a very important part of your experience in the hospital. The diagnostic capabilities of the department can quickly diagnose medical conditions such as a heart attack and stroke. The recent updates made at ELCH enable the hospital to perform more tests simultaneously, expand the types of tests that are possible and result in a faster diagnosis of life threatening health problems. Our lab team is onsite 24x7x365 to help you return to good health as quickly as possible.
