Laboratory
Quality testing & quick results
When you need lab work, turn to Rome Memorial Hospital for quality testing you can trust. In addition to providing 24-hour lab services for our patient care units and the Emergency Department, the lab provides outpatient services at five collection centers.
Most specimens are analyzed at our two medical laboratories in Rome, decreasing the amount of time it takes to get results. For many tests, we can get results to your doctor in less than two hours.
At Rome Memorial Hospital, the people providing your test results are well trained in what they do. Although the technologists rarely see the patient, they know that the work they do in the lab makes a difference in the patient’s life.
A pathologist and our technical staff are available 24-hours a day to ensure availability of quality diagnostic services in an emergency.
