Patient Education & Resources

Patient Instructions
Many of the lab tests you may have done require you to fast. In order to ensure the validity of your lab results, you must not eat after the evening meal (or after 6 p.m.) When you wake up in the morning, you may drink water, but do not eat breakfast or drink coffee prior to having your blood drawn.

When you report to the drawing station of your choice, please be sure to have your laboratory requisition or script with your physician’s orders attached.
