The laboratory was completed and the new lab opened in March 2009. This new facility provides a separate waiting area for laboratory patients and is located conventiently near the admitting office. This beautiful modern facility was made possible by the South Lyon County Hospital District Board of Trustees.
We have recently acquired a state-of-the-art hematology analyzer that helps identify pre-leukemic and anemia patients. This analyzer can run hundreds of samples per day. It also give the technologist and the pathologist more information before reviewing a blood slide.
Talk about growth, we not only act as a "Stat" lab for the hospital with a short turn-around-time, a reference laboratory for the clinics, but we also perform testing for more than 600 out-to-town physicians with over 1,000 different fax numbers. This is where the new laboratory information system comes in to play - faxing results and maintaining the logs of the faxes for all of these doctors.
We have also increased our outpatient testing hours to include Saturday mornings from 8:00 a .m to noon.
