 The
use of clinical laboratory testing in medicine is a cornerstone
of modern disease diagnosis and management. A remarkable amount
of information can be obtained by analyzing even a small amount
of blood, body fluid or tissue. Laboratory exams provide the scientific
objectivity critical to the safe and effective practice of medicine.
Our clinical laboratory employs cutting-edge instrumentation
in concert with a sophisticated, computerized laboratory information
system to ensure the highest standards of testing and test reporting.
Valley Clinical Laboratory is a full-service regional medical
laboratory operated by Oroville Hospital. Because Valley Clinical
Laboratory is hospital-based, we are able to offer services around
the clock every day of the year.
Outpatient services are available onsite at Oroville Hospital
and through a network of satellite labs. As a regional lab, Valley
Clinical Laboratory also provides services to physicians offices
and healthcare facilities throughout the North State.
