The IHA Department of Laboratory Medicine provides an extensive range of routine and specialized testing, as well as clinical consultations where pathology input is required. Through these services we provide valuable support to clinicians in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disease for the residents in the southern interior of British Columbia.

Our services range from full clinical diagnostic and anatomic pathology services at our two tertiary care facilities to STAT or on-call lab service at some of our rural facilities. Pathologists at Interior Health can expect a wide-range of activities including surgical pathology, bone-marrow biopsies, cytopathology, hematopathology, medical biochemistry, microbiology, autopsies and quality assurance activities. Teaching medical and laboratory students is also possible as we are also closely linked to the University of British Columbia to support education and advancement of research in the field of Pathology.
