PATHOLOGY SERVICES

As an independently owned and operated anatomic pathology laboratory, HPC is uniquely capable of personalizing our services to meet the individual needs of our clients.  Our goal is to partner with hospitals, surgery centers and private physicians as an extension of their professional operation with the mutual goal of improving patient outcomes.  In 1998 the four owners and founders of HPC brought into full compliance with all appropriate accrediting agencies our own freestanding, independent surgical pathology operation.  We hand-selected an elite team of health care professionals and developed our own professional practice, histology laboratory and patient friendly billing operation.  We believe that by keeping all aspects of our practice local, and under our direct supervision we are able to oversee the day-to-day operations and ensure client satisfaction,

TURN-AROUND-TIME

The goal at HPC is to report routine surgical cases within 24 hours.  Once the courier picks up the specimen, it is delivered to the HPC histology laboratory, processed overnight and the slides are prepared for pathology review.  The pathologists begin reading slides early in the morning, and the majority of the reports are sent via fax to the facility and surgeon by midday.   At the surgeon’s request, the pathologist will call the surgeon and discuss the individual patient case.
