Is there a difference between a Community lab, like ICL, and a hospital lab?
Intercounty Labs operates networks of Patient Service Centres where samples are collected from patients who are not in hospital. These samples are transported by our couriers and, in most cases, tested in our main lab, at 1100 Sheppard Ave East. Hospital laboratories focus mainly on patients who are in hospital. All medical laboratories must meet strict accreditation standards. This means that the quality of laboratory testing is extremely high, no matter which type of laboratory performs the test.
