Clinical Laboratory Services

The Laboratory Services Department at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center provides comprehensive blood testing and urinalysis services to inpatients and outpatients. This includes annual screenings, diagnostic services and emergency testing.

• Serology

Inpatient Services

Inpatient ancillary services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our team of highly qualified health professionals will provide you, your physicians and other providers with the lab services you need. Our staff will draw your blood for testing as quickly as possible while keeping you comfortable.

Outpatient Services

Enjoy the benefits of our Walk-in Outpatient Laboratory, which is located on the first floor of the hospital. No appointments are necessary, and we have a blood and urine specimen drop off area for outreach services.

Hours and Parking

The Outpatient Laboratory is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Parking is available at the outpatient entrance of the hospital.

Preparing for Your Outpatient Test

• Be well hydrated for best results.
• Arrive with your doctor’s prescription, insurance cards and photo identification.
