But not all medical facilities are capable to handle most of the laboratory testing in-house. It requires up-to-date machinery and trained staff, which turns very costly today. TridentCare addresses the laboratory testing needs of medical facilities with its advanced lab outreach services where the facility staff collects the specimen, while the testing is carried out in one of TridentCare's nationwide laboratories.
