Laboratory Services
Covenant Health provides laboratory testing 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in our region’s most advanced clinical environment.
As part of our efforts to ensure our patients receive the best possible care, we equipped our facilities at Covenant Medical Center with a state-of-the-art laboratory robotics system. By fully automating the sample handling process, this system increases patient safety while decreasing test turnaround time and leaving our staff free to provide more personal service.
Because of our dedication to excellence, our clinical laboratories have received accreditation and commendation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP).
With this accreditation, our patients can feel more confident than ever that they’ll receive the highest quality care—with each and every laboratory test.
