Importance of On-Site Testing

Women may experience unique health complications and are at a higher risk of developing certain diseases and conditions than men. For this reason, it is essential for women to undergo regular screenings to identify and potentially prevent complications before they progress or worsen.

Whether you're having symptoms outside your everyday experiences or want to take proactive steps for your health, consider taking advantage of on-site testing.

Our Lab Testing Services

We provide on-site testing services to support teen health, family planning, pregnancy, menstruation and menopause, sexual health, breast health, and other elements of your well-being:

• Pap smear: This procedure involves collecting cells from your cervix to test them for signs of cervical cancer. Many doctors recommend that patients start pap smears around age 21 and repeat every one to three years until age 65.
• Fecal occult blood test (FOBT): This lab test checks stool samples for hidden blood. Blood in the stool could indicate colon cancer or polyps in the rectum.
• Urinalysis: Tests your urine for signs of a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, diabetes, and kidney disease. If results are unusual, more testing may be necessary to diagnose and treat the cause.
• Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast infections: It is possible to have BV and a yeast infection simultaneously. Health providers will take a sample of vaginal discharge to measure the pH.
• Genetic screening: Expectant mothers can undergo prenatal genetic testing to determine whether any chromosomal abnormalities or genetic syndromes are present in their children. We also offer cancer risk screening that tests for genetic mutations to detect potential cancer early.
• Sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing: Individual STDs have specific tests to most effectively diagnose them. These tests can range from a urine sample, blood test, or swab of sores.
• Group beta strep (GBS): Many women can carry GBS and not realize it. Testing for GBS can prevent the spread of harmful bacteria to newborns during delivery.
• Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (TDAP) vaccine: While it is not a test, this combination vaccine is effective against three bacterial diseases. Receiving it can prevent you from contracting tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough.
