For Patients

The Mercer Health Self Directed Lab Testing program allows patients easy access to a variety of laboratory tests. Specific panels and individual lab tests are now available upon patient request, twice monthly, at a reduced rate.

These tests are offered to promote wellness in our community and are not meant to replace the patient-physician relationship.

Respiratory Therapists are available around the clock to assist our doctors in the treatment of many illnesses.  All Respiratory Therapists are licensed by the State of Ohio and are also certified or registered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).  You will likely see our therapists serving all areas of the hospital from the emergency room to the nursery.  They perform a wide variety of inpatient treatments and educational services.
