Laboratory Overview

How to Prepare

What is fasting?

The food we eat impacts many levels in our blood. Fasting ensures a method to standardize results for the health care provider to make the best decision for the best outcome. Fasting means no food ingested for 10-12 hours prior to blood draw.

Do I need to register as a patient before my lab visit?

Do I need an appointment for my lab visit?

No, just stop in during our business hours of 7:00 am - 4:00 pm. Don't forget to register first!

Wellness Laboratory Testing

What is Lab Wellness Testing? (Printable Lab Wellness Testing)

Today, Americans are becoming more health-conscious, more aware of our bodies, and considerably more knowledgeable about our general health.

Hansen Family Hospital offers a program which allows individuals to receive wellness screens without a physician's written order. Wellness Laboratory Testing is not meant as a substitute for regular medical care. Rather, it is a quick, easy and inexpensive way for people to monitor their health or medical condition. Wellness Laboratory Testing allows individuals to manage their health and health concerns between physician visits.
