In a healthcare landscape where patients often face long waits, confusing insurance requirements and limited access to lab services, AnyLabTestNow (ALTN) stands out as a local solution for individuals and businesses seeking convenient, affordable and confidential lab testing. Located in The Shoppes at Bloomfield Village, the Lititz facility offers a broad range of services and has become an important part of the community’s health resources.

A Flexible, Direct-Access Lab Service

Unlike traditional lab services that require a doctor’s order or insurance, ALTN allows customers to walk in or schedule appointments for tests they select, often receiving results within 24 to 72 hours.

“Our direct-access clinical laboratory makes lab services simple and accessible for patients throughout the region. We offer over 8,000 lab-based tests and empower individuals to take control of their health through accessible diagnostic information,” explains Gretchen Cozart, nationally certified phlebotomy technician and manager of ALTN.

She continues, “A client can walk into our office without an order from their provider, wanting specific tests. We provide an order under our physician, which allows us to proceed with running the labs. We do not diagnose, but sometimes serve as medical matchmakers, offering suggestions to patients of physicians and medical professionals who may be aligned with a patient’s test results or symptoms, supporting informed and proactive health decisions. For example, if someone’s bloodwork reflects thyroid issues, Lyme disease, or fertility issues, we have a list of physicians who specialize in those areas.”

Services Tailored to Community Needs

ALTN offers blood testing and routine lab panels; preventive health and wellness testing; and hormone, vitamin, nutritional, allergy and food sensitivity testing. The location also provides testing for sexually transmitted diseases and sexually transmitted infections, employer and occupational testing, and mobile or in-home lab services.

Shaday Amaya, medical assistant on the ALTN team, manages the in-house production of serum tears–a treatment for individuals with dry eye syndrome. “Serum tears are made from a client’s own serum, which is preservative-free and can promote healing, relieve severe dry eyes and ocular surface disease,” remarks Cozart.

The business runs monthly specials listed on its website, along with in-office promotions. In March, ALTN is highlighting prenatal testing for expectant mothers, as well as testing designed to help identify conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease and Crohn’s disease.

A Growing Team and Local Partnerships

Owner Allison Kapalka, a certified holistic health practitioner and traditional naturopath, recently announced a partnership with Functional Therapy & Wellness, LLC, a Gordonville-based practice supporting whole-body healing through bodywork, hormone, nervous system, and fertility support. ALTN now provides all lab testing for the practice. 

The business recently welcomed a new team member, Evelyn Garcia, a phlebotomist who also provides front-desk support. With Garcia’s addition, the team now includes six staff members, including medical assistants, phlebotomists and support personnel.

Together, the lab team conducts specimen collection, assists customers in selecting appropriate tests, and ensures accuracy and confidentiality. Most visits take less than 15 minutes, allowing the lab to accommodate busy schedules. Staff members also educate customers about testing options, pricing and what to expect from their results.

A Consumer-Focused Approach

The growth of ALTN reflects its emphasis on convenience, confidentiality and customer education. Its flexible services and community-friendly pricing continue to attract residents navigating health care without insurance or extensive medical guidance.

For area residents, the lab offers a streamlined alternative to traditional testing. By putting control in the hands of consumers, ALTN fills a niche in the healthcare market while helping individuals stay informed and proactive about their health.
