Owensboro Health Opens New Laboratory Collection Site
We are excited to share some fantastic news: our newest laboratory collection site is now open at 2200 East Parrish Ave., Building H, Suite 101. This addition marks an important milestone for our team and the communities we serve, further expanding the accessibility of high-quality care across the region.
This new Specialty Lab will operate Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., providing walk-in lab services with no appointment required and minimal wait times. Patients with valid orders can collect and drop off samples here, just like at our other outpatient locations. The site plans to offer molecular testing in the future, broadening the range of services we can provide.
This project has been in development for over a year and has been a true team effort. Special recognition goes to Byron Woodard, dedicated Project Manager, and Eric Bailey, Executive Lab Director, for their leadership and commitment. Their hard work, alongside the efforts of many others, has made this vision a reality.
This new facility is the 16th lab collection site in the Owensboro Health System, which has collection sites in seven counties: Daviess, Grayson, Hopkins, Henderson, Muhlenberg, Ohio and Perry. As we continue to grow, our commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality healthcare services remains stronger than ever.
This expansion underscores our deep devotion to the long-term health of our communities. We are committed to bringing the right providers and programs for our patients today and every day. As we celebrate this achievement, let’s take pride in our collective efforts to make Owensboro Health the trusted healthcare provider for those we serve.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. Your hard work and dedication made these advancements possible!
