Each of our clinics have lab facilities on site equipped to perform basic
diagnostic testing. Any tests needed but not performed in our satellites
are sent to the Wharton Lab.

Area physicians, not associated with STMC, also utilize our lab for
diagnostic testing. Patients don't have to travel far from home for
specimen collection and physicians have test results in a timely manner.

Phlebotomists are responsible for the collection of your blood specimens.
These trained technicians strive to make your blood draw as quick and
painless as possible for you and your family.

South Texas Medical Clinics maintains CLIA accreditation and COLA
certification. This means that they comply with standards set by these
nationally recognized organizations. COLA accreditation is given only to
labs that apply rigid standards of quality in day-to-day operations,
demonstrate continued accuracy in the performance of proficiency testing,
and pass a rigorous on-site laboratory survey. The STMC Rosenberg Lab
received the Excellence Award from COLA in 2001 as an outstanding
lab. This award is given only to labs that have no deficiencies noted at
an on-site inspection, that have no proficiency testing failures during
the past year and that have no valid complaints against them registered
with HCFA. This award was created by COLA to give labs a special
recognition when they have proved exemplary patient testing performance.


Additional services provided for our employers are Drug Screen Collection
and Testing and Breath Alcohol Testing. The drug screening services are
offered at all of the clinic sites. Breath alcohol testing is offered only
in the Wharton and Rosenberg offices.
