ECPC, an essential healthcare provider,
remains open during the COVID-19 pandemic

At Eastern Connecticut Pathology Consultants, our team remains committed to providing the highest level of diagnostic and laboratory management services throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

The safety and health of our pathologists, employees, patients, and colleagues remains our top priority.  Our pathologists and staff are up to date on the latest CDC and public agency guidelines for Covid-19 testing and safety in both Connecticut and Massachusetts.  We have also adopted a modified and rotational schedule to provide staffing redundancies in the event of any staff exposures or isolation requirements. 

Please note that many hospitals, outpatient centers, blood draw centers, and doctor offices have modified hours or visitor policies, or have temporarily closed.  It is recommended that all patients check appropriate websites and call ahead for any appointments or to arrange treatment.

ECPC will continue to provide exemplary pathology and laboratory services, including:
