Need a quality sputum analysis and can't get it where you live?
There is a wonderful pilot program called the Home Sputum Collection Project. It is a partnership of top lung health organizations and institutions. Click the link below to learn more!!

I like that there is a new approach being tried, to get more cultures done by the experts at NJH.
Is this the pilot that allows a patient free submission of a single sputum sample? How does this compare to the standard protocol of submitting 3 separate samples to reduce the possibility of an accidentally contaminated culture giving a false positive?
