Every diagnosis, every treatment plan, every decision… it all starts somewhere.

🔬🩸 At CRDAMC, our lab processes more than 1,700 tests every single day. That’s not just numbers — that’s real answers for real patients. According to the American Society for Clinical Pathology, 70–80% of clinical decisions are based on lab results.

Behind the scenes, it takes a full team working together to deliver accurate, timely results when it matters most.

It may not always be visible, but it’s essential to readiness and patient care.

We have five lab locations to support you. Find the one closest to you here: https://darnall.tricare.mil/Health-Services/Labs-Tests-Radiology/Laboratory
