For Medical Professionals

At the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital Lab, our goal is to produce accurate and timely results for medical providers and their patients. Most routine tests can be processed in our facility with results available the same day. Urgent specimens will have results available to the physician within one hour of collection.  On-site Pathologists can interpret results and consult with physicians in real time, if needed.

Shipping & Logistics

Courier Support

COURIER SUPPORT is offered to existing clients of Fairbanks Memorial Hospital Laboratory. Logistics Specialists are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. AK Time. For additional support, call the Laboratory at FMH at (907) 458-5640

Specimen Integrity

Specimens must be packed and shipped properly for accurate testing, which helps ensure that patients receive optimal treatment. A specimen may not be viable for testing if it becomes too cold or too hot. It may be necessary to collect another specimen from the patient, which may delay treatment. People’s lives may depend on our work. Our goal is to ensure that all medical specimens arrive at the testing facility:

  • At the correct temperature for testing.
  • Intact in the container, without breakage or leakage.
  • In the shortest possible time.
  • In compliance with all applicable regulations.

Refer to the Test Catalog for any specific specimen requirements.
