The UHS Laboratory processes a wide variety of tests that assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
All testing is performed by registered medical technologists.
Obtaining a Laboratory Test You will need to bring a written order from your doctor to the laboratory. If the order is from a UHS doctor, the order for your lab tests will be written on the visit summary form that you will be given when you check in for your visit. If you have an order from a physician who is not a member of the University Health Services staff, call the laboratory to schedule your test. The laboratory staff will send your results to your doctor, so be sure that you have the doctor's address and phone number with you. Some tests require dietary restrictions or special preparation.
