McAlester Regional Health Center’s Laboratory provides necessary and valuable services to the hospital and patients. As a local full-service laboratory, we perform over 250,000 tests annually and provide quick, accurate results. You do not need to be a McAlester Regional patient to utilize our services. We’re open 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays, to offer a continuum of service in variety of testing and results that can assist in diagnosis, and we’re licensed by the Oklahoma State Department of Health to collect Legal Drug Screens. Our CAP (College of American Pathologist) Laboratory provides a full range of services to patients of all ages.

Aside from servicing patients of our hospital, McAlester Regional Health Center’s Laboratory has partnered with nursing homes, physician’s offices, home health and hospice agencies, and other hospitals to be their laboratory of choice. Our goals include:

Although you don’t need an appointment, physician’s order is required for any laboratory test, and most results are available to your physician the same day we collect your specimen.
