Welcome to the Medical Center Laboratory
web site!
Medical
Center Laboratory has made a commitment to offer the local medical community the
best possible laboratory service for physicians.
To achieve this, we are setting the highest standards in reliability,
service and quality. Compare our
standards with your current referral laboratory and we think you will agree that
Medical Center Laboratory has a commanding advantage.
QUALITY
FIRST - This commitment to quality stems from its founding and direction by
our pathologists. These physicians
are inherently aware of the need for precision and accuracy in laboratory
testing. Stringent guidelines have
been developed for all laboratory procedures.
HIGH
CALIBER PERSONNEL - Strict criteria are used in the hiring of all personnel.
Each section has a pathologist assigned and technologists are ASCP
registered. Laboratory procedures
and results are continuously monitored by our pathologists.
CONTINUING
EDUCATION - We support and encourage employees who wish to further develop
their professional careers through our many continuing educational programs.
COMPREHENSIVE
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM - At the heart of our high performance level is a
thorough, responsive Quality Assurance Program. The system consists of a variety of quality control
specimens, both internal and external, comparative review of previous data for
consistency and individual, in-depth investigations to identify possible flaws
thereby improving our efficiency and accuracy.
OUTSTANDING
SERVICE ON A ROUTINE BASIS - Uniquely capable because we are a part of the
local medical community, Medical Center Laboratory is able to offer these
special services:
-
Stat
Service: Our laboratory can offer local physicians a wide spectrum of
laboratory tests most commonly ordered in emergencies.
-
Less
Than 24-Hour Turnaround on Most Routine Testing: Because we are local,
routine procedures can be called and/or faxed to your office the same day
they are requested. Hard copy results on other tests will be delivered promptly
to your office.
-
Friendly
Courier Service: Strategically timed pickup of specimens offer the
physician's excellent turnaround times.
-
Specialized
Client Service: Inquiries and individual requests will be handled by staff
members specifically trained in customer service.
Our unique capabilities allow us to get the answer - and get it fast.
-
A
7-Day, 24-Hour Per Day Laboratory: Should the physician need laboratory
testing capabilities at "off hour" times, Medical Center
Laboratory offers that capability for your practice.
-
Esoteric
Testing Service: Tests that are not performed at Medical Center Laboratory
will be referred to Mayo Medical Laboratories in Rochester, MN.
However, we can at the request of the physician, reference the test
to the clinical laboratory of the physician's choice.
This offers the physician's practice a flexibility not found with
large referral laboratories.
-
Availability
of a Local Pathologist: The pathologists at Medical Center Laboratory are
part of the local medical community, and can be contacted daily by phone or
in person.

Welcome to Medical Center Laboratory!
West Tennessee Healthcare is very proud of our
laboratory staff and the important place they have in providing
the data to aid in diagnosis of diseases. We continue to
maintain our status for rapid turn around time as well as
reliable results. The utilization of “Lean Principles” has
enabled the lab to streamline processes, enabling specimens to
maintain a constant flow through the facility.
We are blessed to have a modern 40,000 sq. ft
facility that allows more room for testing and also allows us to
better serve the needs of the medical staff. This facility is
connected to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital by
pneumatic tube systems and an underground tunnel.
Medical Center Laboratory is also connected to
each of the Affiliate Hospitals in our West Tennessee Healthcare
family of healthcare facilities. We currently operate hospital
laboratories at Bolivar General Hospital, Camden General
Hospital, Gibson General Hospital, Humboldt General Hospital,
and Milan General Hospital.
We are glad to be able to offer the same level of
excellent testing to all medical facilities in the surrounding
area via our Outreach Courier System. This network covers all
counties in West Tennessee, providing specimen pickup and timely
results reporting.
Our laboratory is here to service the needs of
any physician, clinics, nursing homes or industry in the area.
If we can be of service, please let us know!
