Clinical Laboratory Services

Laboratory services are critical to every hospital. Henry Mayo is proud to house a state-of-the-art laboratory on its campus, located in a brand-new facility in the main hospital basement. Every day, our laboratory team performs a myriad of vital tests to aid our clinical staff in prompt diagnoses, ensuring patient health.

Our facility also provides convenient, on-campus outpatient laboratory services to local physicians and patients. Excellent customer service and fast turn-around testing are the hallmarks of our outpatient laboratory services. Henry Mayo Outpatient Laboratory Services operates four locations, two on the hospital campus and two off-site satellite locations..

Our Departments:

Chemistry
This department performs diagnostic tests to detect abnormalities in heart, liver, and kidney function. Our modern, automated equipment produces precise and accurate results using the latest analytic technologies.

Hematology
Our Hematology department performs testing which analyzes the cellular components of blood such as white and red blood counts, hemoglobin, and platelet counts. Our laboratory scientists are experts at identifying blood cells under the microscope and are able to determine if cellular morphology is normal or abnormal. Another area of testing within Hematology is the study of blood coagulation tests, which aid in the diagnosis of problems with blood clotting.

Blood Bank
Henry Mayo stores donor blood in our blood bank facility, allowing access to life-saving supplies for trauma patients and other patients needing blood transfusions. Blood products are cross-matched to the patient by skilled laboratory scientists, ensuring a safe transfusion.

Microbiology
Bacterial and fungal organisms are isolated from various body sites through blood, urine, and wound samples. These organisms are then identified and analyzed to help the physician determine the most effective antibiotics to prescribe for their patients.

Point of Care
Some clinical laboratory testing is performed closer the patient. Examples of these tests are glucose, urinalysis, and pregnancy testing. Near-patient testing allows the clinicians and caregivers to receive very prompt results and enables them to make treatment decisions more quickly.

Staff
Laboratory services director Jonathan Miller, MPH, CLS, MT (ASCP) oversees a top-notch staff including a core of 20 Clinical Laboratory Scientists licensed by the State of California to run and report results of blood testing. Our Laboratory Technician Assistants who are responsible for drawing and preparing blood for analysis are also licensed by the state of California as Certified Phlebotomy Technicians.

The hospital laboratory is fortunate to have access to exemplary Pathologists who serve as our Medical Directors. Barbara Florentine, M.D., RN, ASC, medical director of pathology, is a board-certified Pathologist with a cytopathology subspecialty certification and is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pathology at USC Medical Center. Roger Der, M.D., M.B.A, associate medical director of pathology, is a voluntary faculty member of LAC+USC Medical Center and has co-authored several scientific papers on the subject of reflux disease and esophageal cancer.
