YNHH Laboratory Manual

Laboratory Medicine at YNHH offers, through its Outreach section, a valuable reference test resource for both community physicians and area hospitals. A wide variety of the most technically current testing is accessible to patients, not only in-house, but also as oupatients through their private physicians. This menu is also available to other hospitals where requests for such specialized testing are not sufficient to merit in-house set up. State of the art testing is offered in Flow Cytometry, Molecular Diagnostics, Special Hematology and Coagulation, Chemistry, Virology, and Microbiology. Sophisticated Prenatal and Perinatal screening is also available.

Test results are available 24/7 via MDLink a hospital web-based system offered free of charge to area physicians and hospitals. For more information on this service, please call (203)688-8844.
