“In most cases, healthcare providers can expect to receive these results within four hours of delivery to the laboratory at FMC.”
“This partnership provides healthcare providers and patients in the Flagstaff community with access to urgent laboratory test results by combining the collection network of Sonora Quest Laboratories with the local testing expertise of the Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC),” said Sonora Quest Laboratories Sales and Account Services Director Nathan Mendenhall. “Through this arrangement, patients with STAT laboratory orders from their healthcare provider can visit Sonora Quest Laboratories’ local patient service center or any of our in-office phlebotomists for collection right here in Flagstaff. In most cases, healthcare providers can expect to receive these results within four hours of delivery to the laboratory at FMC.”
Patients can still get their blood drawn either at their doctor’s office or a Sonora Quest Laboratories patient service center, for rapid and urgent testing, and once collected, the specimens will be processed accordingly through FMC. NAH officials say this collaborative approach is designed to provide healthcare providers with the timely information needed to care for their patients while minimizing cost and enhancing convenience for patients.
