Many health conditions and diseases, including cancer and the flu, are diagnosed by looking at samples of your tissues and cells. At Main Line Health, our expert pathologists (doctors who specialize in identifying and studying diseases) and clinical laboratory scientists use the latest technologies and techniques to help identify health problems.
At Main Line Health, our laboratories located throughout the Philadelphia region collect samples from thousands of people every year. We use advanced lab testing to uncover or keep an eye on a wide range of diseases. Tests may include blood tests, urine tests, Pap smears and stool tests.
Fast, accurate test results deliver peace of mind
We strive to provide fast, accurate results so you can receive the treatment you need as well as peace of mind. We are constantly improving how we collect, store and test samples to ensure that each result includes the information your doctor needs to provide quality care for your individual needs.
Our pathologists work closely with your doctors to review your individual test results and answer any questions you may have. Your doctors will discuss your test results with you and help create a treatment plan that is personalized for you.
Easy access to lab results
Once your test results are complete, they become part of your lifetime electronic medical record. Whenever you see a Main Line Health doctor, that person can review your lab results easily so you don’t have to repeat tests and you can get the proper care when you need it.
