UPS will not be performing pickups or deliveries on Monday, January 20th due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Effective January 1, 2025, Garcia Clinical Laboratory will discontinue the manual trichomonas screen and transition to a PCR-based testing platform for improved diagnostic accuracy. This change is due to the lack of sensitivity associated with the manual trichomonas screen. Providers can order the new PCR test using test code STI3P or STI4P.
