Laboratory
The Laboratory at Electra Memorial Hospital provides a wide range of on-site testing. Our CLIA-certified facility has the equipment and staff required to provide you and your physician with quality care with accurate and reliable results with an above average turnaround time. This allows our medical staff the ability to expedite patient care.
The professional team members at the Electra Memorial Lab are highly qualified with many years of experience. In addition, our commitment to patient care is important to us. For example, our phlebotomists are certified and give our patients a extra personal attention to make sure they are as comfortable as possible.
We are continually upgrading instrumentation and available testing. These tests are usually specialized and/or complex in nature. LabCorp is our routine reference lab. They are an extension of our lab giving the physician and the patient quality results in a timely manner.
Our laboratory is under the direction of certified pathologists from Pathology Associates of Wichita Falls. They work closely with the lab manager, administrator and the physicians at Electra Medical Clinic. Performance Improvement and Proficiency Testing programs are in place to assure quality testing and customer service.
