Trail and area residents are advised that the Trail Health Centre Laboratory, located on the third floor of the downtown medical building at 1101 Dewdney Avenue, will be closed as of July 28, 2025. Outpatient laboratory services, including specimen collection, are available at the LifeLabs Trail Patient Services Centre (PSC), located on the second floor at Waneta Plaza. Interior Health will be supporting patients over the weeks ahead to transition to LifeLabs, which can accommodate all current health centre patients. This change is being made to make the best use of laboratory staffing resources in Trail, and improve laboratory testing for patients who present to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) emergency department and patients admitted to the hospital who require laboratory testing. LifeLabs Trail PSC is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering walk-ins and online appointment booking (through Book a Lab Visit), with results being available through MyCareCompass. Interior Health’s priority is to ensure timely and equitable access for laboratory collection services for both the community and acute care patients. Outpatient laboratory services will continue to be available at KBRH for patients requiring urgent services related to acute procedures (i.e., cancer, renal and pre-surgical patients). Health care providers with patients requiring urgent outpatient laboratory services can direct these patients to the hospital for this testing.
