Information for Patients

Who Can Use DSM’s Services?

DSM operates lab and imaging facilities in hospitals and hospital-based facilities, providing diagnostic services to patients of these facilities. In addition, specialized lab tests that are not available in the private laboratories in Winnipeg and Brandon are referred to DSM labs.

What Happens When DSM Can’t Perform a Specialized Test?

DSM has an extensive laboratory test menu and has the ability to perform most routine tests, as well as many specialized procedures in Chemistry, Genetics, Microbiology, Pathology, Hematology and Immunology. When extremely rare procedures are required DSM refers samples to other laboratories, such as the Mayo Clinic, where diagnostic staff have the familiarity and equipment to test and interpret results of specialized processes.
