Laboratory and Blood Bank

The Laboratory department at Flagstaff Medical Center provides full-service, acute care laboratory, histology, pathology and transfusion services to inpatients and outpatients. Our team consists of board-certified pathologists, medical technologists and laboratory assistants. Laboratory services are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Advanced technology allows for rapid turnaround of a variety of tests. Since 80 percent of all medical diagnoses involve some type of lab testing, it is the department’s goal to ensure the patient feels confident in the abilities of our staff and the time frame in which he or she receives the test results. The Laboratory department performs 675,000 procedures for inpatients and 475,000 for outpatients a year. Our blood bank holds a minimum of 225 units of blood and components at any given time.
