We know the earlier a problem is detected, the better chance of treatment.

That's why at Rio Grande Regional Hospital, we are committed to providing fast, accurate lab tests and screening results. From routine blood work to advanced screenings for heart disease and diabetes, we work alongside your physician to help give you the best chance at living a long, healthy life.

Our care team includes skilled pathologists, phlebotomists and medical technologists who are available 24/7 for emergency testing.

  • Anatomic pathology
  • Blood bank testing
  • Hematology/coagulation
  • Histology
  • Microbiology and molecular testing
  • Serology
  • Urinalysis

Regional medical laboratories

In addition to our hospital-based laboratory, our services are extended into the community at three regional medical labs located throughout the McAllen area for your convenience. Our full-service laboratories provide affordable access to a range of same-day screenings and tests. Many of our wellness screenings and common lab tests do not require a physician's order.

Our HeartSource health check program, which includes an EKG reading of your heart, is exclusively offered at our Regional Medical Laboratory - North location.
