National Laboratory Workers Week
Did you also know that the Philadelphia Public Health Laboratory performs over 300,000 tests per year? Did you even know that the Health Department has a lab?!
The tests our laboratory professionals do include everything from general health screenings, diabetes testing, sexually transmitted disease testing, and general microbiology testing. In addition, testing is also performed on samples collected from any disease outbreaks that we investigate.
