Jenkins County Medical Center provides in-house laboratory testing for patients staying in the hospital, receiving care in the Emergency Department or coming in for scheduled testing. Our laboratory team provides reliable testing and timely results to help providers diagnose conditions and guide patient care.

When your provider orders laboratory testing, you don't have to travel far for quality care. Jenkins County Medical Center's in-house laboratory offers a wide range of testing services with the convenience of having your results processed right here at your local hospital. Because our laboratory is located on-site, physicians receive results quickly, helping them diagnose conditions, begin treatment sooner, and make timely decisions about your care. Our laboratory serves inpatients, Emergency Department patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and outpatients with a physician's order.

Outpatient Hours

Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Appointments are also available.

Blood Bank

Our laboratory includes a fully equipped blood bank that supports patients who need blood transfusions due to surgery, illness, injury, or emergency situations. Having these services available on-site allows our medical team to respond quickly when every minute counts.

Why an In-House Laboratory Matters

One of the greatest advantages of having an in-house laboratory is speed. Instead of sending many tests to an outside facility, our providers can receive results faster, allowing them to diagnose illnesses sooner and adjust treatment plans more quickly. Our laboratory also works closely with other hospital departments, including the Emergency Department, Radiology, Surgery, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and other specialty services, ensuring seamless communication and coordinated patient care.

When your provider orders laboratory testing, you have the right to choose where your tests are performed. Choosing Jenkins County Medical Center means receiving quality laboratory services close to home while supporting your local community hospital. Ask your provider to send your laboratory orders to Jenkins County Medical Center.
