The Campbell County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) Laboratory provides testing
to aid physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and serves
as a reference lab for many local physician offices and veterinary clinics
in Gillette, Wyoming.
The CCMH Laboratory currently performs more than 240 different tests and
collects more than 450 other lab tests to be sent to reference labs.
Lab professionals perform and evaluate medical laboratory tests that correctly
detect, diagnose, and help prevent diseases, thus saving countless lives
every day. Since these pros often work behind the scenes, few people know
how they aid physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, every
day. The CCMH Lab staff is either certified Phlebotomy Technicians or
Medical Technicians/Technologists. The key word here is certified –
all have undergone specialized training to provide the services they provide.

What is Allergenex? CCMH's Laboratory offers an allergy test that requires a much smaller blood
sample with more comprehensive results: Allergenex by Spiriplex.
When a provider orders the Allergenex allergy test, only four drops of
blood are needed. The sample is tested for 68 of the most common food
and environmental allergens, like dust mites, weeds and grasses, eggs
and peanuts. Patients as young as six months old can be tested, and each
sample is tested separately three times for better accuracy.
The test also detects sensitivity, or things the patient is slightly allergic
to, which can be difficult to diagnose if the patient isn’t experiencing
significant symptoms. The test results, along with the patient’s
history, physical exam, and symptoms, help the provider create a successful
diagnosis and treatment plan.
