Physicians Hospital can obtain specialized
testing for the patient. Through this service
there is no diagnostic, therapeutic, or
screening laboratory procedure that is out
of reach to our patients. In addition, Physicians

testing procedures drawn at our facility
and delivered to the testing facility by
Federal Express. Current services offered
are drawing services for patients with organ
transplant and cancer treatment. This service
often allows the patient less travel to
have the testing performed.
