Department of Laboratory Medicine

Image of microscopeUp to 85% of doctors’ decisions about diagnosis and treatment are based on laboratory test results. At Trillium Health Centre, the Department of Laboratory Medicine performs tests and procedures that provide critical information to doctors, enabling then to diagnose, treat and monitor their patients’ conditions.

Timely, Accurate Results for Our Patients.

Our technical, medical and clerical staff all work together to provide high quality diagnostic and consultative services for our patients.
