Community Outpatient Lab is a medical clinic in Missoula, Montana. The facility provides convenient and affordable laboratory testing services, including lipid panels, diabetes management, pregnancy tests, thyroid screens, and various health panels for men and women. The clinic serves the Western Montana area, offering walk-in availability without the necessity of a doctor’s order.
The laboratory functions through the close collaboration of Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Laboratory teams to provide essential diagnostic information for patients. While Anatomic Pathology focuses on the microscopic examination of cells and tissues, the Clinical Lab analyzes blood and other body fluids to identify evidence of disease. To assist younger patients, the facility offers a specialized pediatric sedation program using nitrous oxide to make procedures such as lab draws, IV placements, foley, and NG tube placements more comfortable. Patients can check in online to avoid waiting, and test results are made available through the Community Medical Center patient portal.
Located on Fort Missoula Rd, the clinic is situated just inside the front entrance of the main hospital. The facility is a short distance from Fort Missoula Regional Park and the Fort Missoula Native Plant Garden, and it is near the historic Fort Missoula site.
The clinic is recognized for providing high-quality, accessible diagnostic services that are vital to patient treatment plans. As part of the broader Community Medical Center network, the laboratory maintains a commitment to the healthcare needs of the local community.
