Laboratory Services and Walk-In Laboratory Draw Stations

Certified Medical Chemistry Laboratory

Whether it's a routine lab test, such as a Prothrombin Time, or a more technologically advanced test for detecting disease, such as the Fish Eurovision test, Med Health Services provides the medical and patient community in the Tri-State area with a comprehensive laboratory-testing menu. Our standard operating procedures place the patient's needs at the core of our laboratory.

Med Health Services has built its reputation by providing the highest quality of care along with an extensive list of routine and esoteric testing to help physicians diagnose, treat, and monitor disease in the comfort of their own office or clinic. By partnering with Med Health Services, a conventional physician’s office becomes a diagnostic testing facility that enables physicians to spend more time diagnosing and treating patients - leading to more effective and efficient patient encounters. This ultimately enhances the quality of care in any medical office.

For physicians that collect specimens in their office, Med Health Services couriers provide dependable, on-time pick-up and delivery services. Patient tests are performed at our local laboratory, located in Monroeville, PA. Our experienced, professional laboratory technicians provide the local and personalized account service that our clients deserve. Patients may also have their

specimens collected at any of our Walk-In Laboratory Draw Stations located throughout the Tri-State Area. 

Our state-of-the-art laboratory information system provides referring physicians with real-time, web-based access to test results.
