THE LABORATORY AT ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL
is a round-the-clock, state-of-the-art facility that provides personalized
customer service along with a comprehensive laboratory test menu. The size
and rural location of our laboratory belies its extensive, high-tech
automation and its broad scope of lab services. In addition, the AVH
lab is affiliated with Mayo Medical Laboratories, the national reference
laboratory for Mayo Clinic, located in Rochester,
Minnesota. Mayo Medical
Laboratories, a medical center-based, physician led organization, is
internationally known for its team of consultative experts that focus on the
needs of the patient. The AVH/Mayo collaboration consolidates reference
testing, improves turnaround time, and strengthens Aspen
Valley Hospital's
efforts to provide exceptional laboratory services and patient care to the Aspen area community.
All of
the lab technologists at AVH possess a Bachelor of Science Degree in Medical
Technology and are certified by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.
Another extraordinary aspect of this well-trained group of technologists is
that they boast an average of more than 16 years cumulative experience per
technologist, a rare feature in the working world of Aspen.
The AVH Laboratory is licensed by the Food & Drug Administration and
the government agency known as CLIA which oversees clinical labs. The
laboratory also receives regular accreditation from the College of American
Pathologists, the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and the American Association of
