For all of our patients, the in-house lab at MHF provides a faster, more affordable, and more reliable means of receiving test results and blood work at minimal cost.

The lab at MHF was created from a mission to provide affordable care for patients living with HIV at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. MHF CEO Dr. Tony Mills says, “From the beginning, we were taking care of patients regardless of their ability to pay. And while it was easy for me to write off my physician fee, HIV patients need lab work and they need a lot of lab work, and some of that lab work is very expensive. So, one of the first things we did was we created our own clinical laboratory. And that way, I knew exactly what the costs were to run the test and I could make the decision to write this off in patients who needed to have these tests done, but couldn't afford it.”

Today, the lab at MHF ensures the most expedited, secure results for our care sites across Los Angeles.
