Accurate, Affordable Laboratory Services in Los Angeles
Your health decisions are only as good as the information behind them. At Comprehensive Community Health Centers (CCHC), our laboratory services give you and your care team precise, timely results that support better diagnosis, faster treatment, and ongoing wellness.
As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we are here for every patient—insured or uninsured, English-speaking or multilingual—throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. Our lab teams are trained to provide clear communication in English, Spanish, Armenian, and additional languages, so no patient ever feels left out of the conversation about their health.

How Lab Results Fit Into Your Care
When your lab work is done at CCHC, it becomes part of an integrated care process. That means:
- Your Primary Care provider sees results quickly and can make immediate recommendations
- If something needs follow-up, we can connect you with Specialty Referrals in-house or with trusted partners
- Chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disorders can be monitored over time to keep you healthy and prevent complications
Because our labs are embedded within our clinics, you often don’t have to travel to another facility—your testing and your provider visit can happen in the same place, sometimes on the same day.

FAQs About CCHC Laboratory Services
Do I need to fast before my blood work?
Some tests—like cholesterol or glucose—require fasting. Your provider will let you know beforehand.
Can you send my results to another doctor?
Yes. With your permission, we can securely forward results to outside specialists or primary care providers.
Is pediatric lab testing different from adult testing?
The process is similar, but our pediatric-trained staff use smaller needles and child-friendly techniques to reduce discomfort.
What if I’m nervous about blood draws?
Let our staff know. We can provide extra comfort measures, explain each step, and allow breaks if needed.
Do you offer same-day results?
For certain rapid tests—such as pregnancy, strep throat, or some STIs—results may be available before you leave.
Can I request a copy of my results?
Absolutely. You can get a printed copy or access them through our secure patient portal.
