Laboratory

What Is The Laboratory?

At Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital, we are proud to provide our patients with access to state of the art medical analysis and diagnostics in our hospital laboratory. Our laboratory houses all of our high tech equipment used in blood analysis, microbiology culturing, and pathology diagnosis.

What Does The Laboratory Do?

The laboratory is responsible for analyzing all biological samples that may be requested by your doctor. This can include things like blood samples, stool samples, saliva swabs, urine samples, and more. Samples are collected by certified laboratory employees and/or nurses or doctors.  

Analysis can involve separating out certain compounds to identify levels of essential components and hormones, culturing bacteria and viruses to diagnose infections, and assessing physical characteristics of the sample to determine any abnormal pathologies.

Who Needs Work Done By The Laboratory?

Laboratory work will be involved in almost all patient treatment programs at Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital, as it provides doctors insight into what is happening inside the body without requiring surgery.

Laboratory results can determine which antibiotics should be used, whether a patient has a chronic or acute deficiency in any vitamin, or if there is an imbalance indicating a specific disease or cancer. .

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.
