patient. The

colposcopies, sigmoidscopy, colon biopsies, lesion removals (which
may be sent for pathology reading), pulmonary function test,
laceration repairs and casting.

By
having an in-house laboratory, patient’s lab work can be done
while they wait and with most test, the provider can have the
results and treat the illness the same day.
Without an in-house lab, patients would have to either
travel to another lab extending their waiting time or the lab work
would have to sent out to a reference lab with the results not
being known for up to two days.
CLIA
certification allows FMC to perform a range of laboratory test
including blood sugar monitoring, cholesterol testing, liver
screening, thyroid tests, bleeding studies, arthritis profiles and
many others essential in assisting providers in making correct
diagnosis.
