Laboratory Services
Lowell General Hospital has a full-service, 24-hour clinical and pathology laboratory available to process a wide range of tests right at the hospital. It also processes specialized tests that are sent out to other facilities for analysis.
Your doctor may order a lab test if they suspect that the cause of your illness or discomfort can be detected in your blood. The lab also processes biopsies, tissue samples and other specimens. Your results may be interpreted by a pathologist, a specialized doctor who interprets the results.
Please bring all prescriptions or doctor's orders with you when you come for laboratory testing. Blood drawing services are provided at the hospital's Patient Service Center and the Patient Service Center at Drum Hill.
Results of many lab tests are usually available within one hour to two days. For more complex, specialized tests, results may take up to a few weeks.
All test results are reported to the requesting physician. You should contact your doctor if you have any questions about your tests.
