The UCLA Clinical Laboratory provides diagnostic testing services for the Westwood and Santa Monica sites as well as affiliated outpatient clinics and physician offices. Inpatient phlebotomy services are provided at both locations, and outpatient phlebotomy sites are located in the Westwood 100 and 200 Medical Plaza Buildings and 1245 16th St, Santa Monica, CA 90404 . In conjunction with the Nursing service, the Laboratory manages the Point-of-care testing services in inpatient and hospital-based outpatient locations. For testing not performed by the laboratory, selected referral laboratories are utilized. The laboratory also supports clinical research activities. We are licensed by the State of California, accredited by the College of American Pathologists, and hold CLIA certification for all testing locations. Please see individual clinical services for services specific to a given area.
