Clifton Springs Hospital opens modernized lab space
A newly modernized inpatient clinical laboratory has recently opened at Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic. The new laboratory features an open, collaborative footprint that removes physical barriers between disciplines, enabling stronger communication, teamwork and streamlined operations, Rochester Regional Health System officials said.

The modernization project also expands the laboratory’s testing capabilities, allowing a broader range of tests to be performed onsite and reducing the need to send specimens to outside laboratories.
