Pathology / Laboratory

Change text size + -
 

Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of organs, tissues, cells and bodily fluids. While you would probably never deal directly with pathology or laboratory as a patient, the dedicated staff in this area has worked with you if you have ever had a blood draw, urine test or any kind of medical test done at MeritCare.

CARE

MeritCare Pathology/Laboratory analyze and work up every sample of tissue and bodily fluid taken. Pathology focuses on tissue and fluids, looking for malignancies and other abnormalities. The lab, among many other things, processes blood. The microbiology lab tests tissue, blood and urine for infections.
