Lab Services excelling at Campbellford Memorial Hospital

By Brock Ormond Jan 20, 2026 | 11:41 AM

Campbellford Memorial Hospital is highlighting the significant work and performance of its Laboratory Services following the release of its 2025 year-end results, which demonstrate high testing volumes, strong quality outcomes, and consistently timely results.

Last year’s, CMH’s Core Laboratory collected more than 66,000 samples and performed nearly 149,000 tests, supporting patient care across the hospital and throughout the community. When broken down into individual components, this represents close to 470,000 reported results over the course of the year.

CMH officials say the numbers reflect the volume and complexity of the work done every day at the hospital.

Timeliness remained a key strength throughout the year. The Laboratory met or exceeded turnaround time targets for the vast majority of urgent and stat testing, ensuring care teams received critical information quickly when it mattered most.

In addition to routine testing, the Laboratory made more than 3,300 critical result calls in 2025. These are direct, real-time communications to clinical teams when results indicated potentially life-threatening conditions.

In 2025, CMH’s Laboratory also continued to invest in quality and modernization, implementing new equipment, introducing online booking for outpatient appointments, and expanding in-house testing capabilities while maintaining excellent performance in external quality assessment programs.

Community members who have recently used the lab for outpatient services are encouraged to complete the new patient satisfaction survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/T8GBWPY
