Laboratory Services 

Our full-service laboratories support both inpatient and outpatient care across WMCHealth. We offer: 

• Anatomic pathology examines tissue from biopsies or surgeries to help diagnose cancer, infections, and other diseases. 
• Biochemical genetics identifies inherited metabolic disorders that may affect how your body processes food, chemicals, or medications. 
• Blood bank and transfusion services ensures safe blood transfusions by matching blood types and preparing components for surgery, trauma, or disease treatment. 
• Clinical chemistry analyzes blood and body fluids to monitor organ health, manage chronic conditions, or detect disease early. 
• COVID-19 testing detects active or past COVID-19 infection to guide treatment, safety precautions, and return-to-work or school decisions. 
• Cytogenetics examines your chromosomes to detect genetic disorders, birth defects, or changes linked to cancer or miscarriage. 
• Cytology evaluates cells to detect cancer, infection, or inflammation—often used for Pap smears. 
• Flow cytometry measures cells in your blood or bone marrow to help diagnose immune system disorders and blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. 
• Genetic and molecular testing analyzes your genes to uncover inherited conditions or guide personalized treatment for cancer and other diseases. 
• Hematology analyzes your blood to diagnose anemia, clotting issues, infections, or blood cancers like leukemia. 
• Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing helps match organ or bone marrow donors with patients who need a transplant. 
• Immunology and allergy testing checks for immune system problems or identifies allergic reactions to help manage chronic conditions or unexplained symptoms. 
• Microbiology and infectious disease testing identifies bacteria, viruses, and fungi to confirm infections and guide antibiotic or antiviral treatment. 
• Molecular and virology diagnostics detects viruses and genetic material to diagnose infections or help tailor your treatment plan. 
• Routine blood tests screens for common issues like anemia, infections, or high cholesterol during checkups or before procedures. 
• Urinalysis tests your urine to check for infections, kidney problems, or signs of other conditions affecting your urinary system.
