Lab tests
With a request from your health care provider, Crandall Health Center may be able to obtain your lab specimens (ex. blood, urine) and send them to St. James Mercy Health's laboratory for processing.

• Your health care provider must complete the following form: Lab Work Obtained at CHC External Provider Form. This required form ensures that your lab results will be communicated directly to your health care provider. The form can be faxed to Crandall Health Center (607.871.2631). The form may also be mailed or hand delivered; the health center must receive this form before your appointment is scheduled.
• Appointments (607.871.2400) are required for the lab specimens to be obtained at Health Services. This service is available Monday through Thursday, 9am-2pm. There is a venipuncture fee for blood draws, which can be billed to your AU student account. Fees for the actual laboratory tests are billed through St. James Mercy Health.
• Some laboratory tests require specific handling and must be done in a laboratory setting. For those needs, you may contact St. James Mercy Health Laboratory at 607.324.8080 or Jones Memorial Hospital Laboratory at 585.593.4072 for more information.
