Within the Wayne HealthCare Laboratory Department are registered professionals with multiple bachelor‘s degrees and specializations. They provide high-complexity testing services for Microbiology, Chemistry, Immunochemistry, Hematology, Coagulation, Urinalysis, and Blood Bank. Our Medical Technologists/Clinical Laboratory Scientists analyze hundreds of specimens per day, and although these dedicated individuals are rarely seen outside the walls of their department, their impact on quality patient care cannot be overstated. Each timely and accurate test result that they report is crucial to the care of our patients.

Surgical pathology and cytology services are provided by North Dayton Pathologists with Dr. Ronald Chiu, Pathologist, serving as the medical director for Wayne HealthCare.

Phlebotomists, individuals who are highly trained in the art of specimen collection and laboratory test requirements, regularly interact with our patients and are the public face of the Laboratory Department. These individuals follow stringent guidelines as they perform venipunctures to collect blood samples—ensuring that the specimens will be suitable to provide quality, reliable test results.

In addition to patient care, the phlebotomy staff of Wayne HealthCare also serves the public by providing drug screens and breath alcohol tests for many local companies, as well as specimen collections at various health and wellness events throughout the community.
