Laboratory, Arlon Sheffield, Director, 256-782-4196
The Laboratory Department is comprised of technologists, technicians, and phlebotomists, which operate a variety of high tech, state of the art equipment. At Jacksonville Medical Center, every tech masters all components in each department of the Lab. This allows our Laboratory great flexibility.
The Laboratory staff at Jacksonville Medical Center provides a full service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Lab offers two external collection sights. One sight is located inside the Jacksonville Mediplex building. The other sight is located in Piedmont at the office of Dr. Dorothy Nelder.
The Lab offers hundreds of lab tests for inpatients, outpatients, and emergency patients. The Lab works closely with virtually every department in the hospital.
Laboratory Accreditation
Congress passed the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) in 1988 establishing quality standards for all laboratory testing to ensure the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of patient test results regardless of where the test was performed. Our lab is CLIA licensed.
