The Laboratory at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center is Joint Commission accredited, licensed and approved by the New York State Department of Health, which also monitors its quality control and proficiency. Laboratory testing is performed by a team of experts, which includes pathologists, New York State licensed clinical laboratory technologists and technicians and ancillary staff working in the various specialized sections of the Laboratory.

More than 3 million tests are processed in Good Samaritan’s full service Laboratory each year. A wide range of pathology and clinical laboratory services are provided. We offer rapid turnaround time for biopsy, Pap smear and Human Papilloma Virus analysis. For the majority of clinical laboratory testing, we can provide your practitioner with next day reporting by phone and/or fax.

For those physicians’ offices that do not provide phlebotomy services, the Laboratory has extended outpatient hours to accommodate the needs of referred ambulatory patients. No appointment is necessary.
