Lab Testing On Demand

Thank you for visiting the Riverview Hospital Laboratory. We are pleased to introduce our new Lab Testing On Demand service. We offer this service to our community because many people either do not have insurance or have insurance plans with high out-of-pocket deductibles and co-insurance costs. This causes many of us to resist getting the vital health tests and screenings that can help us stay healthy or detect illnesses in their early stages. Lab Testing On Demand offers an extensive menu of low-cost laboratory screenings - available by appointment at a time that is convenient for you. This Website describes the Lab Testing On Demand services available to you. If you have any questions, please call us at (715) 421-7433. It’s your health and your choice. Thank you for choosing your community owned Riverview Hospital!
