Laboratory
Student Health Service
Laboratory examinations complement the outpatient clinic service. The Student Health Service Laboratory is certified as a high complexity laboratory by the federal government. The majority of tests ordered by Student Health personnel are provided without charge. However, some specialized tests cannot be supported by the Student Health Service, and the cost of these tests is the student's responsibility. (click here for some pricing information) Laboratory tests ordered by outside physicians are also performed by the laboratory.
Some tests require that patients be fasting (no food or liquid except water for 10-12 hours) prior to having the blood sample taken. If you are uncertain whether your test(s) require you be fasting, call the laboratory or your provider.
For routine tests, patients should arrive in the lab no later than 4 p.m.
Examples of some tests performed in the lab: Urine tests (including pregnancy and bladder infection tests), blood test for anemia, chemistry and thyroid panels, sexually transmitted infection testing (including HIV and Chlamydia), and bacteriology cultures.
