New Lab Equipment Expands Service For Area Patient Needs And Will Serve Others

With the addition of new analyzers at Ozarks Community Hospital in Gravette, members of the community and area are now able to get any lab work done at the hospital.

“This will ensure a shorter wait and more immediate results for needing lab work done. Patients needing lab work through any doctor’s office in any provider network can arrange for the service at the hospital,” said Jayna Cardetti, OCH Communications Coordinator.

No appointment is necessary, she explained: “Simply bring your doctor’s order to admissions emergency room where a lab technician will assist you. The hospital staff will forward test results directly to your physician.

“Lab work can be done seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to midnight,” Cardetti said, and added, “The phlebotomists on staff are extremely skilled with an average of 15 years experience.”

For information on this service contact the hospital, 479-787-5291.
