MHP is making things easier for patients needing to drop off lab samples
for testing. Starting Monday, October 14th, if you’re asked by the
MHP Lab to collect a sample at home, you will be able to pull up to the
Main Entrance at MHP Medical Center and return it to the lab without even
entering the building. The process for curbside drop-off is simple:
-
Pull into the circular drive at the Main Entrance of the MHP Medical Center
and park next to the Lab Drop-Off sign.
-
Call the telephone number on the sign to notify the staff of your arrival.
-
Have the sample clearly labeled with the patient’s name, date of
birth, and telephone number.
-
An MHP staff member will approach the passenger side of your vehicle to
assist you.
-
After a few questions to verify the patient’s information, you will
be on your way!
(NOTE: In order to provide the best possible care to our patients, the
Lab Drop-Off program has several exceptions. Be sure to check with Laboratory
Staff when you receive your collection kit to make sure your sample is
appropriate for drop-off.)
MHP is pleased to be able to offer this new program to our patients. The
idea was sparked by the MHP Patient and Family Advisory Council, a group
of community members that meet monthly to discuss ideas and provide feedback
to improve the way our patients experience care.
