Laboratory
The laboratory at Norfolk General Hospital (NGH) is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and provides urgent and emergency lab testing to support patient care.
Our lab is staffed by a skilled team of medical laboratory technologists, medical laboratory assistants, clerical support, and a pathologist who also serves as our medical director. Together, they use reliable equipment and current testing methods to deliver fast and accurate results.
We provide testing in:
-
Chemistry
-
Transfusion medicine
-
Hematology
-
Pathology
-
Stress testing
-
ECG (electrocardiogram)
For more specialized tests—like microbiology or tests that aren’t done as often—we work closely with other trusted labs in our Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and with Public Health Laboratories.
