            Meadville Medical Center (MMC) Lab at Crawford County

            The effect our laboratory at Meadville Medical Center (MMC) has on the people of this community is quite evident when given the number of tests performed there. In one recent year alone our lab personnel performed 483,425 tests of all types. The average breakdown of this incredible total is 21,000 outpatient, 16,000 inpatient and 3,000 emergency patient tests per month. The volume increases every year due to changes in research and diagnostic tests—the further the advancements in research, the more tests our technologists are asked to perform! Read answers to frequently asked questions on our Laboratory FAQ page.

            Laboratory Staff

            Medical laboratory personnel are one of the largest groups of ancillary healthcare workers. Our laboratory is operated by approximately 60 staff members, including medical technologists, clerical staff, phlebotomists, and pathologist Dr. David W. Azar. The lab is staffed 24 hours a day by these highly trained individuals who work in various areas within the department.

            Eric Shaffer, manager of laboratory services at MMC commented, “The purpose of the lab is to provide objective information to the medical staff to be used for the diagnosis and treatment of their patient. This information can be used by physicians to complement their physical examination of the patient.” Blood samples can provide information to physicians that can be obtained in no other way. The actual chemical composition of the blood and blood components can be measured to aid in prevention, treatment and management of illness or disease.

            Areas of Service

            The laboratory at MMC is made up of seven technical areas. These areas and their functions are as follows:

            • Hematology – Blood cell analysis
            • Microbiology – Growth of abnormal bacteria and fungus
            • Blood Bank – Match of donor units with patients in need of blood transfusions
            • Pathology – Diagnosis of abnormal, primarily cancerous, cells by processing tissues from surgery
