Laboratory tests are either performed on site or sent to Sacred Heart Medical Center. Information on the testing laboratory is included in the Test Directory.

Preparing for your test

Some tests require fasting. If your doctor instructed you to fast, don’t eat or drink anything except water for 10 to 12 hours before your blood is drawn. You should keep taking your medications unless your doctor says otherwise. It’s important to drink water during fasting because it hydrates your veins and helps make blood draws easier. It’s also a good idea to bring a snack with you so you can eat immediately after your blood draw.

Getting your results

Your physician or surgeon will receive your results, and their office with contact you directly. A copy of your results will be available in My Chart or from your physician.
