Lab Services

Why Astera Health?

With a focused effort on reducing patient anxiety and providing the most pleasant experience possible, Astera Health’s lab technologists, technicians, and phlebotomists provide the personal care, expertise, and empathy patients expect. During regular business hours, lab services are also available at each of our satellite health clinics in Bertha, Henning, Ottertail, Sebeka, and Verndale.

Working closely with pathologist Joel Miron, MD, and Carolyn Rysgaard, MD, physicians with St. Cloud Pathologists, PA, the laboratory team works hard to provide the best service possible for Astera’s valued patients.
