Laboratory

We are committed to providing a full range of laboratory tests in a caring environment. We strive to ensure you receive personalized care, starting the moment you arrive at the laboratory's check-in counter. Our phlebotomy team offers fast, convenient, and friendly service, while our medical technologists are dedicated to reporting accurate and reliable test results using state-of-the-art equipment.

All services are walk-in. No appointment necessary. A provider must have entered the order for testing into the MHS GENESIS system.

Lab orders from non-Department of War providers are processed for active duty personnel only. All other beneficiaries will need to use a lab within the Humana Network.  Visit Humana Military and select the LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics button to search for a patient service center near you.
