Laboratory
The laboratory at Providence Valdez Medical Center supplies a wide variety of lab services for outpatient and inpatient needs. Located in the hospital, we are equipped to complete many diagnostic tests on-site – from blood draw to test result. This helps us deliver important test results to you and your provider in as little time as possible.
Our lab is staffed by certified medical laboratory scientists, laboratory technicians and phlebotomists. We use the latest medical lab standards and guidelines for high quality, accurate testing and we are trained to complete blood draws on patients of all ages.
The laboratory at Providence Valdez Medical Center is CLIA certified, which means we follow the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), or the U.S. federal regulatory standards for clinical lab testing. These standards are regulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
