LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Ukiah Valley Rural Health Center-Lakeport is extending hours and adding another day of service.

“I’m excited that we are able to offer extended hours and days for blood draw services,” said Bob MacLafferty, director of laboratory services at Ukiah Valley Medical Center. “We are pleased to offer this convenience to the community, especially since experience has proven that the majority of patients prefer to have their blood drawn early in the morning while fasting.”

UVRH Lakeport lab services will now be available three days per week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“When you have your blood drawn at any of our facilities, the testing is performed locally, using local talent, benefitting the local economy, and enabling us to make health care more readily available in our communities,” said MacLafferty.

The UVRHC Lakeport lab is located at 487 S. Main S. in Lakeport, walk-ins are welcome.
