Laboratory

Caring, qualified and experienced phlebotomists supported by state-of-the-art robotic equipment make Mather Hospital’s laboratory precise, efficient and the first choice of more and more patients every day.

The Joint Commission, the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in healthcare, awarded Mather’s Laboratory the Gold Seal of Approval for healthcare quality and safety.  The Commission’s standards focus on the provision of high quality, safe laboratory services that contribute to and support the overall health care delivery system.

The Laboratory offers comprehensive diagnostic testing, performing more than 500 different diagnostic procedures, and specializes in difficult draws and comforting anxious patients.

Our sophisticated robotic line was the first of its kind in a community hospital. The Laboratory Robotics System fully automates the preparation and processing of lab specimens and reduces the time for test results, reduces the cost of lab tests and helps eliminate errors through bar code technology. Many results are available in a mere 20 minutes and can be sent to your doctor the same day.

For outpatients, Mather Hospital’s Lab is open for business even on Sunday. Free valet parking is available to lab patients during peak hours, Monday through Friday.
