Laboratory

Whether you need routine urinalysis or urgent blood work, the outpatient lab at Columbia Memorial Hospital is here to serve. At CMH, our technicians have expertise in areas ranging from coagulation to blood gases and toxicology to serology. You can be confident that your tests will be completed precisely. We process most lab tests on-site, ensuring fast, accurate results. For less-common lab tests, we have partnerships with trusted labs.

We are a COLA accredited laboratory (CLIA ID #38D0064555). COLA, a lab accreditation organization, has recognized our high-quality care. It awarded the Laboratory Excellence Award to CMH. This award shows that the lab exceeds national quality standards and regulatory requirements.

Walk-in lab testing

CMH strives to make the lab experience as easy as possible. You don't need an appointment for lab work. For your convenience, CMH offers walk-in labs during business hours. Lab work is also available after hours via the Emergency Department.

If a CMH provider has referred you to the lab, you don't need to bring any paperwork with you. It will already be in our system. If your physician isn't associated with CMH, please bring your lab orders. You can also ask your provider to fax them to 503.338.7589.

An expert lab is an important part of any community. The lab at CMH is here to serve. Walk into any of our locations or call 503.338.7570 with questions.
