Brightshores Health System is announcing more changes to outpatient lab services, aimed at improving community access.
The health system reached out to Bayshore News, saying that effective July 2, 2025, patients in Lion’s Head who require same-day results and specialized lab tests will continue to have access to lab services at the Lion’s Head Hospital.
They also shared that the Peninsula Family Health Team will be expanding their clinic services by offering routine blood work appointments to anyone in the community with a requisition from their care provider.
Previously, the organization had announced that they’d be changing outpatient blood testing services at the Southampton Hospital, but are now saying that outpatient services will continue to be available.
For patients, primary care providers will give instructions regarding lab procedure, including where to book their test based on needs.
Brightshores says that they are continuing to collaborate with Dynacare surrounding access to outpatient lab services for patients at the Southampton Hospital, saying the expansion plans may impact where outpatient lab services will be available in the future.
Appointment booking and information regarding all lab services is available through the Brightshores Health System website.
