Clinic of the Future plans for expanded on-island lab services

Mark and Natalie Discuss COTF Lab Expansion

In our latest Clinic of the Future construction update, CEO Mark Driscoll is joined by Natalie Cole, R.N., the Clinic’s Director of Nursing, for a quick look at the first-floor space that will become our new, expanded lab.

When the new Clinic opens in late spring, this expanded lab will allow us to do more testing right here on the island—including a complete blood count machine. With CBC testing on site, our providers can quickly assess a wide range of concerns, from infections and anemia to certain blood conditions.

Together with the imaging upgrades we shared in the last update, this means patients can get answers sooner, begin treatment faster, and make fewer trips off the island for care.

If you’re new to these updates (or missed a few along the way), you can catch up anytime by visiting our Clinic of the Future website, where you’ll find previous construction videos, progress milestones, and information on new services. Plus, you can view our webcam at any time for a live look at the construction.

P.S. If you’d like to be part of the effort to build the Clinic of the Future, we invite you to consider supporting the Foundation’s Clinic of the Future capital campaign.
