Imaging and Testing
Phelps Memorial Health Center can perform many tests to minimize travel. Our laboratory conducts tests in the clinic setting, and any tests that must be run at another site can often be drawn here. We can also complete CT, MRI, and PET scans for many diagnostic procedures. Biopsies, bone marrows, and general surgery are also available.
