Laboratory Services

Overview

Parkway East Hospital's clinical laboratory services are supported by Parkway Laboratories. Our laboratories conduct a wide range of tests, supporting clinical work, clinical trials, teaching, and research.

What are laboratory services?

Laboratory services involve diagnostic tests on patient samples like blood, tissue, and body fluids. They are important for finding, diagnosing, and tracking diseases. They also help doctors make effective treatment plans for different medical conditions.

How it works

Our in-house laboratories handle samples from over 2,000 doctors across 6 facilities daily. After collecting samples, our team of pathologists and medical technologists uses advanced tools. They perform detailed analyses and share results with doctors. This helps in diagnosis and treatment.

How do laboratory services play a part in healthcare?

Laboratory services are integral to modern healthcare, providing critical data for:

Early detection of diseases
Accurate diagnosis
Monitoring of chronic conditions
Evaluating treatment effectiveness
Supporting public health and research initiatives

Our labs provide reliable and timely results. This helps healthcare providers give better primary care to patients and improve health outcomes and their quality of life.
