Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital is taking extra measures to ensure individuals who are the most vulnerable to an adverse COVID-19 outcome have special access to lab services.  

Beginning Tuesday, May 12, the hospital will re-open the outpatient lab at 920 Sunnyslope Road specifically for individuals 65 years and above, women who are pregnant and anyone who is immunocompromised or has a serious underlying health condition.

The Sunnyslope lab will be open on Tuesday and Friday from 7:00 am – 10:00 am and patients will be seen by appointment only. Services available at this lab include all lab services not related to COVID-19 testing. 

To make an appointment, please call (831) 636-2631. All patients need to be sure that their lab requisition has been faxed to the lab or they have it with them upon arrival for their scheduled appointment.

“With the COVID-19 pandemic in the global spotlight, it’s easy to forget that there are many patients who have significant health risks that require regular laboratory testing,” said Bernadette Enderez, HHMH Laboratory Director.  “We hope that by providing a dedicated lab site, patients who are more vulnerable will have greater ease and peace of mind when accessing laboratory services.”
