I work in a small critical access hospital in rural NW Iowa. The providers depend on our lab work in diagnosis and treatment of all our patients. Our lab results often impact whether or not a patient can be treated successfully at our hospital or should be transferred to a large medical facility. Whether you are large or small, lab results need to be spot on and your quality control excellent. We matter.

My 20 yo son was recently seen in the ER with back pain. A CT was sent off to be read and took 40 minutes. Because of a quick urinalysis, they were able to treat him for kidney stones.
