Pathology Helps Diagnose and Understand Diseases

Pathologists help diagnose and understand diseases through the analysis and examination of small samples of human tissue, bone, blood and other bodily fluids, all performed in a laboratory setting.

Pathologists at Coffee Regional Medical Center provide consultation to physicians from other specialties such as Dermatology, General Surgery, Gynecology, Internal Medicine and Family Medicine, by evaluating tissues, cells and fluids received from procedures and surgeries to obtain accurate patient pathologic diagnoses.
