At Adventist Health Bakersfield, our goal is simple: to provide you with superior service, unparalleled quality, and excellent value. We offer a full range of clinical and pathology services for the Bakersfield community.

Our laboratory is staffed by licensed clinical laboratory scientists and phlebotomists under the direction of our pathologists who serve as medical directors.

Here, quality is our top priority. The Adventist Health Bakersfield laboratory adheres to strict internal quality control standards for equipment and testing procedures. In addition, all abnormal or atypical blood cytology samples are personally reviewed by a pathologist. When clinically significant, the findings are expeditiously discussed with the attending physician.
