• NOTE: The SHCC Laboratory charges a $15 handling fee for both in-house and outside tests. This fee is not covered by any insurance policy and is billed directly to the patient’s UF account.

Three licensed technologists, one licensed technician and a certified phlebotomist, directed by a board-certified pathologist, carry out more than 50 different clinical lab tests employing up-to-date, computer-linked instruments. Our associated off-site reference laboratories can perform essentially any analysis.

The internationally respected College of American Pathologists regularly inspects our laboratory and has accredited our facility. Only a handful of other college health laboratories have earned this nationally recognized certification.

Lab tests ordered by outside providers

Patients who have prescriptions/orders for lab work from an outside provider may go directly to the SHCC laboratory. The external reference labs to which these tests are sent will communicate the results directly to the outside provider.
