At Lima Memorial's Laboratory Services, we offer the only full-service, local, 24/7 diagnostic outreach laboratory in the region. We serve physicians and patients in the 10-county, West Central Ohio region through:

  • One centralized laboratory located in Lima Memorial Hospital;
  • 11 strategically located community collection sites;
  • A home draw system for homebound patients; and
  • A centralized courier service for specimen pickup.

Have confidence that when you send us your lab work, our highly trained staff of ASCP certified Medical Technologist will evaluate it thoroughly. In addition, because we are the region's only local, 24/7 outreach laboratory, the majority of all testing is performed the same day to guarantee results back in a timely manner.

High Quality Results

In addition to the expertise of the phlebotomy staff at Lima Memorial Health System, we work in conjunction with Mayo Medical Laboratories in Rochester, Minnesota, to evaluate some of the more specialized and rare lab tests that our patients need.

We are fully accredited by the:

  • College of American Pathologists
  • Joint Commission on Accreditation (JCAHO)
  • American Association of Blood Banks (AABB)
  • Registered by the FDA

11 Patient Collection Centers

We have 11 convenient patient service centers in Lima, Cridersville, Ada, Russells Point, Wapakoneta and St. Marys to offer testing close to your home. Our outpatient collection centers open early in the morning and stay open until after work, and we have Saturday morning hours. No appointment is needed - just walk-in.

In addition, if you are unable to come to one of our centers, our phlebotomists will do home draws.
