Anatomic Pathology Services at Geisinger Medical Laboratories
Geisinger
Medical Laboratories' Anatomic Pathology Group offers three unique features
(our microsystem model, our disease-oriented
pathology reports, and our cutting-edge technologies)
that allow us to provide you with the best information available, so you can
