Important Notice for LAB Patients

The Credit Valley Hospital's outpatient laboratory is no longer accepting requisitions from community physicians.

Most laboratory tests requested by community physicians are covered by OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan), and can be performed at any of the nearby community lab service providers

You will not incur additional costs for tests covered by OHIP. In many cases, parking is free at the community labs.

This change is in keeping with the practice at most Ontario hospitals and will allow Credit Valley to provide better service to their emergency department and other areas of the hospital.
