2009 Laboratory Upgrade

The hospital laboratory has been modernized with new technology and equipment to better serve you. Memorial gifts, proceeds from events and a grant from the Hardin County Community Endowment Foundation made this project possible. We purchased reference books, new software technology and seven pieces of equipment to complete the upgrade. With your help, our small town laboratory is now high tech, comparable to other larger laboratories!
