Medical diagnostic services we offer

Our lab offers an array of clinical diagnostic laboratory services, with rapid turnaround times and compassionate customer support. Covering everything from blood counts to vital organ function to infectious diseases, our services includes:

Basic metabolic panel — Measures your blood sugar and several other natural ions and proteins to test for diabetes and assess kidney function
Complete blood count — Provides your doctor with vital information about red and white blood cell counts, as well as platelet levels in your blood
Comprehensive metabolic panel — Combines both the hepatic and basic metabolic panels to inform your doctor of your liver and kidney health
Electrolyte panel — Allows your doctor to tell if the natural ions found in your blood are appropriately balanced
Coagulation testing — Includes a full spectrum of blood clot testing, as well as tests to monitor blood thinner medications
Hepatic function panel — Illustrates how well your liver is functioning
Immunohematology testing — Done through our blood bank, which is a full-service transfusion laboratory offering blood-type identification, antibody screenings and antibody identification
Iron testing — Tests your iron level, as low amounts can lead to anemia and may be a sign of abnormal bleeding
Lipid panel — Measures triglyceride and cholesterol levels, including both "good" cholesterol (HDL) and "bad" cholesterol (LDL), which allows your doctor to determine your risk for preventable heart attacks and cerebrovascular accidents (strokes)
Microbiology testing — Used in testing for infectious diseases, our full-service analytical capabilities include antimicrobial susceptibility testing, bacteriology and virology
Prostate-specific antigen testing (PSA) — Assesses whether a high PSA level is present in a patient's blood, potentially a sign of prostate cancer
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) testing — Measures TSH, an essential hormone in controlling thyroid gland function. Abnormally high or low levels of TSH can be a sign of thyroid disease

Walk-in laboratory collections

We provide walk-in collections in our hospital, through the main lobby a few steps west of the registration desk. At our lab reception desk, we have a diverse team of trained phlebotomy specialists available to collect your samples. Please talk to us concerning your individual needs and we’ll do our best to help you.

Before arrival, please have your ID and insurance information, as well as a lab order from your physician. Please follow any instructions given by your provider, such as fasting, to ensure you obtain accurate test results. If you do not have a lab order, you can request a copy from your physician’s office or they can fax it to (801) 479-2903.

If you need to drop off a specimen for testing, you will also need to be registered and receive an identification wristband as described above. This ensures appropriate billing, ensures your results are sent to the appropriate destinations and allows us to identify your specimen appropriately.

Please ensure that your specimen container is labeled with:

First and last name
Date of birth
Date and time of collection (include AM or PM)
Any additional information requested by the lab order or physician

Laboratory hours of operation

Our laboratory is open Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 5:00pm.

If you arrive between 4:00pm and 5:00pm, you need your printed lab orders from your physician in-hand to give to the registration team. This requirement is due to the difficulty to reach physician offices after 4:00pm to request the lab order or research the fax records.

If you arrive after 4:00pm and do not have a lab order in-hand, you will be asked to return when our lab receptionist is available (7:30am to 4:00pm).

Helping us to better serve you

Patients are often contacted a few days after their visit to participate in an optional survey. If you opt to participate, please be specific in your comments, indicating if your experience was with the lab or any other department of the hospital, so your comments are delivered to us appropriately. We read and review these comments and use them to give employee recognition, provide context for employee improvement and find additional ways to better serve you and the community.

If you would like to directly share a positive or negative experience, or would like to get a hold of lab management, please contact or leave a message with our Lab Manager.

You can call (801) 479-2686 or email us.

Getting your laboratory results

Upon completion, patients may also obtain a copy of their results, with a valid ID, by filling out a "Release of Information" form at the lab reception desk Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4:00pm.

We can provide timely laboratory results in various ways. The results are often faxed to your doctor's clinic upon completion. We also have the capability, in some offices, to have the results made available via your doctor's electronic medical records (EMR) system.

Most testing takes a few hours or a day to process. Less common tests ordered by your physician may need to be sent to a contracted lab out of state for processing. If this is the case, testing can take days to weeks before results return, depending on the complexity and availability of the test.
