DiagnosisNOTICE: Our hours have temporarily changed. See below for specific location hours. 

The clinical laboratory at CCMC is located in the MOB B.  The laboratory performs testing on clinical specimens in order to get information about the health of the patients as they relate to diagnosis, treatment and the prevention of disease. We provide services for patients of all ages.  The laboratory is divided into sections, anatomical pathology, microbiology, chemistry, hematology, blood bank, cytology and phlebotomy.  The laboratory at CCMC performs testing on both inpatients and outpatients. Over 98% of the testing is done in our own lab.  There are several convenient locations for outpatients including the Diagnostic Center at the Patriot Center, Garfield Medical Complex, Belpre Primary Care, and at Medical Office Buildings B and C.  The Laboratory is accredited by both the College of American Pathologists and CLIA.
