Has your doctor requested you get your blood drawn? Rest assured we wish to ease the anxiety and apprehension associated with such procedures. The lab is under the direction of a pathologist who oversees a well-trained staff comprised of a manager, technologists, technicians, and phlebotomists. Our methods minimize pain and discomfort while collecting the health data vital to you and your health care provider.
Our lab is responsible for performing and reporting results for Erlanger Western Carolina Hospital’s Emergency Department, as well as providing biweekly testing opportunities for Clay County Care Center in Hayesville, NC and Valley View Care & Rehabilitation Center Nursing Home in Andrews, NC.
