Laboratory Services

Scheduling your blood work, as you would a doctor’s appointment, is now available at Copley Laboratory. The convenience of a scheduled time – saves you time! 

For your convenience, scheduling can be done by calling 802-888-8216 or online via “Request a Lab Appointment” (below). Please note that if calling to schedule your appointment your call will be returned within the next business day. In the event you need an immediate appointment, please ask to speak to someone immediately, or arrive as a walk-in.

Calling ahead and scheduling your appointment not only reduces wait time, it ensures that the lab has received your order. While scheduling your laboratory appointment is encouraged, walk-ins will be accommodated.

If you do not reach a technician, leave a message that includes your full name or name of the person you are scheduling for, date of birth, and name of the provider ordering the laboratory work. The technician will return your call as soon as possible.

Plan on arriving 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time to register with Patient Access located in the main lobby. Once you are registered, proceed to the laboratory window and let them know you have arrived. Please do not arrive any earlier than 15 minutes prior to your appointment.

The Blood Bank at Copley supports the community with blood products from the American Red Cross in Burlington, Vermont and with special orders obtained from Dedham, Massachusetts.

These products are needed for different reasons, including loss of blood due to trauma, cancer and its treatment, the inability of an individual’s body to produce various blood components, or possible destruction of these components by the patient’s own natural defense system.

Copley has dedicated laboratory professionals assuring quality health care by testing and providing compatible blood products for safe transfusions.

Reports of your lab tests are communicated electronically to your doctor’s office, available through your patient portal, and as needed and with your permission, to nursing homes, home health agencies, and other sources.

This means that results are available to your doctor for review as soon as the report is issued, reducing the amount of time it takes for you to get your results.

Your laboratory test results can be available within 1-7 days depending on the type of test. Results for in-house testing are within 24-48 hours. If we need to send your test out to one of our referring laboratories, results can take up to 7 days.

In addition to servicing Copley Hospital, the laboratory also provides laboratory services to referring hospitals, physicians, nursing homes, veterinarians, and outreach clinics.

We believe the first assurance of quality is a qualified staff. Copley hospital laboratory is staffed by a board certified pathologist, medical technologists and medical laboratory technicians. The lab consistently meets the highest standards of laboratory practice and is inspected routinely.
