"The perceptions [of UHS] have a lot to do with how comfortable people feel and how aesthetically pleasing the surroundings are," he said.
Carol I. Wotschiak, UHS's chief medical technologist, called the new lab "comprehensive" and added. "We gave up a lot of space [downstairs] for patient comfort."
While the new facility uses 2800 sq.ft. of space, she said this is less than the total area of the three labs that UHS used until this week.
New lab equipment includes a $10,000 Coulter Counter, which is used in hematology analysis. In addition, UHS has installed a second electrocardiogram device, several new refrigerators to hold samples, and an autoclave, which sterilizes instruments electrically.
UHS's first-floor walk in clinic waiting area is also being evaluated Long said. He added that future renovations will probably involve enlarging the area and redesigning the arrangement of the seats to make patients more comfortable.
