Community Health Castleton Laboratory Receives Re-certification
Vermont Business Magazine There's no need to travel outside of the Castleton area for a blood test. Community Health Castleton's laboratory has received certification of compliance from the State of Vermont for the lab services provided in Community Health's Castleton practice in Bomoseen, Vermont.
The Community Health laboratory handles lab work for Community Health's primary care patients as well as those from Castleton Express Care, and a separate outpatient lab service run by Rutland Regional Medical Center (RRMC) serves not only Community Health patients but any community member with orders from their provider. RRMC's blood draw facility, located in a dedicated space adjacent to the waiting area in the Castleton practice, is staffed by RRMC.
The lab hours are Monday-Friday 8a-12p, 12:30-3:45p.
“Anyone can take advantage of this lab service as long as their orders have been electronically placed by their provider or they can bring a written order,” said Cathy Cota, Community Health Castleton practice manager.
“This service eases the travel patients would have to endure,” said Cota. “Patients would have to travel to Rutland if this lab were not available.”
Community Health’s primary care center in Castleton is also an Express Care site which provides the community local access to health and wellness services 365 days a year, including on holidays. During the week, the lab services are available to Express Care patients.
In November 2020, the federal Health Facilities Administration conducted a survey of the Castleton lab and found that it was in compliance with federal regulations needed for re-certification. This year, Community Health was named a Health Center Quality Leader by the federal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), ranking Community Health in the top 30% of the Federally Qualified Health Centers in the country.
“It is the essence of our mission to provide the highest quality care to our patients, and this is validation that we are doing that,” said Community Health CEO Don Reuther. “It is our goal to be recognized as the undisputed leaders in quality, not only at the state and local level but nationally.”
HRSA’s Quality Improvement Awards (QIA) recognize the highest performing health centers around the country and spotlight the health centers that have made significant quality improvement gains in the past year.
