ALMS Community Health Center Expands Laboratory Services

MANSFIELD, Texas - July 6, 2026 - PRLog -- ALMS Community Health Center is expanding its Laboratory Services to provide patients and healthcare providers with convenient access to comprehensive diagnostic testing that supports preventive care, early detection, chronic disease management and timely treatment decisions. As the organization prepares to open its new Mansfield location, the laboratory will offer a combination of on-site testing and reference laboratory services designed to improve access to quality healthcare throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth community.

Laboratory testing plays a critical role in modern healthcare. From identifying infections and monitoring chronic diseases to supporting preventive wellness and specialized diagnostics, laboratory results provide physicians and healthcare providers with valuable information needed to make informed clinical decisions.

"Our goal is to make laboratory services more accessible while supporting coordinated, patient-centered healthcare," said a representative of ALMS Community Health Center. "By offering both on-site testing and access to advanced diagnostic laboratory services, we can help patients receive timely information that supports better healthcare decisions."

The Laboratory Services program will include rapid on-site testing for select conditions, including respiratory PCR panels, COVID-19, Influenza and RSV testing, gastrointestinal PCR testing, urinalysis and urinary tract infection screening, rapid HIV screening, rapid strep testing, pregnancy testing, and additional CLIA-waived laboratory testing as approved by the laboratory director.

In addition to on-site testing, ALMS Community Health Center will provide access to an expanded menu of reference laboratory services, including comprehensive blood work and wellness testing, STI and STD testing, advanced molecular diagnostics, genetic testing and toxicology confirmation testing. These services support healthcare providers in evaluating overall health, identifying medical conditions, monitoring ongoing treatment and developing individualized care plans.

The laboratory will also work closely with the clinic's primary care, chronic disease management, pediatric, mental health and preventive care programs, creating a coordinated approach that helps patients receive comprehensive healthcare in one convenient location.

By integrating laboratory services into the overall patient care experience, ALMS Community Health Center aims to improve continuity of care while supporting earlier diagnosis, more personalized treatment decisions and better long-term health outcomes for individuals and families throughout Mansfield and the surrounding Dallas–Fort Worth area.
