Lincoln County Hospital was the benefactor of two very generous memorial contributions from the Eileen Broberg estate and her family a few years back. Because of their enormous generosity, the hospital laboratory is now furnished with state-of-the-art equipment. Recent purchases utilizing their contributions include items such as a hematology analyzer which provides time sensitive on-site results for complete blood counts, a large lab refrigerator for storing specimens and supplies with temperature fluctuation notification, a chemistry analyzer which runs the majority of other laboratory tests, a smaller laboratory refrigerator, and a new phlebotomy laboratory draw chair. The laboratory also has a new ID Now device to provide rapid testing for COVID, strep, RSV and flu. When tests are run in-house, patients and providers can get the results faster than if the specimens have to be sent out of the county to another lab. The hospital and community are very appreciative to the family of Eileen Broberg for their generous support of the hospital and its laboratory.
