The KHSC Clinical Laboratories provide a wide range of highly sophisticated laboratory services and consult on a variety of diagnostic, medical, scientific and technical issues. This includes immunology and molecular microbiology testing for renal transplant patients, and molecular diagnostics on tissue biopsies to support precise and personalized medicine for cancer patients.
The Laboratory Outreach program was originally created to organize the delivery of specimens and the pickup of completed reports from community hospitals and doctors’ offices. It grew into a comprehensive service providing technical, managerial and scientific/clinical expertise in laboratory medicine. High quality and personalized service is supported by a single entry point for specimen drop off and a toll-free telephone number for all inquiries from clinicians, institutions and researchers throughout southeastern Ontario. Performance is measured using client satisfaction surveys and regular frequent interactions with clients to identify and address their needs and concerns.
We are a diverse group of approximately 200 laboratorians that reflects the wide range of laboratory medicine services that we provide to our clinical colleagues and patients. This includes a full complement of laboratory physicians and laboratory scientists, medical laboratory technologists, pathologists’ assistants, laboratory technicians, phlebotomists, secretarial and clerical staff.
The administration, management and operation of the Clinical Laboratories is the collective responsibility of the Administrative Director, the Medical Director, and our Laboratory Managers, Division Service Chiefs, Senior and Charge Technologists.
We are closely integrated with the Queen’s Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine and our faculty hold joint appointments with the hospital and the university for our tripartite mission of patient care, education and research. The Department Head is also the Pathologist-in-Chief at Kingston General Hospital.
