Moving Outpatient Lab Procedures

MONTROSE, CO – Effective Wednesday, March 25, Montrose Regional Health (MRH) will move outpatient lab procedures to a new location to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Outpatient lab procedures will now take place at the site of Mountain View Therapy Pediatric Rehabilitation, located at 645 S. 5th St. across from San Juan Cancer Center. Operating hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Outpatient lab procedures have traditionally been performed on-site at MRH. With the emergence of COVID-19 in Montrose county, MRH will use this location until further notice in order to help protect patients and prevent the spread of COVID-19. The move is being made out of an abundance of caution for the community.

What to Expect

If your doctor instructs you to receive your labs from Montrose Regional Health, please visit the new location at 645 S. 5th St. The new site includes Admissions personnel, which allows for lab patients to come directly to this location to receive services. MVT Pediatric Rehabilitation patients are currently not coming to this site for services as the hospital works to conserve resources and strengthen infection control measures.

Examples of outpatient lab procedures include weekly “INR” draws for patients on blood thinners, thyroid tests, Complete Blood Count tests, and other blood tests ordered by your provider.
