LAB SERVICES & TESTING

On-Site Labs, Faster Answers

On-Site Laboratory & Diagnostic Testing

Family Care of Chilhowie maintains an on-site laboratory so you can get tested and, in many cases, get results during the same visit. From routine bloodwork ordered during a wellness exam to rapid diagnostic tests for an acute illness, our phlebotomy and clinical staff handle your labs without sending you to an outside facility and making you wait days for a callback.

What We Offer

On-site phlebotomy

Blood draws performed by trained staff, right here in our office.

Drug screens

Testing for employment, occupational health, or medical purposes.

Urine microscopy

Lab analysis of urine samples to help diagnose infections and other conditions.

Rapid strep test

Results in minutes, so you know quickly whether antibiotics are needed.

Flu test

Rapid testing to confirm influenza during cold and flu season.

Mono testing

Quick screening for mononucleosis, especially useful for adolescents and young adults with persistent fatigue or sore throat.

3-minute A1C test

A fast blood sugar trend test for patients managing or being screened for diabetes.

Pregnancy testing

What to Expect

Lab work may be ordered as part of a wellness exam, a follow-up for a chronic condition, or to help diagnose an acute illness. Many rapid tests — strep, flu, mono, A1C, pregnancy — return results within minutes, often before you leave the office. Bloodwork sent for more detailed analysis typically returns within a few business days, and our office will contact you with results and any next steps.
