For the initial setup, Courtney Trotta or Frank Mennone will arrange for you to receive the supplies you require according to your diagnostic needs, including requisition forms, specimen bags, biopsy containers, and slide folders. Once you have started using our service, you will be able to fill out a supply request form and simply give it to your courier, who will be able to fill your needs within 24 - 48 hours.

Our daily courier service currently covers the southern Connecticut corridor, from Stamford to New London and north to Middletown.  For service outside that region, we can provide a scheduled courier service or provide complete U.S. specimen mailing package including mailing cartons, test kits, specimen bags and containers, and labels for easy mailing to Yale Pathology.

East Pavilion, 2-631
Yale University School of Medicine,
200 South Frontage Road,
New Haven, CT 06510

Please make sure that the final report accompanies your slides. Sometimes the institute sending the slides is billable for the consult—at other times it is the patient's responsibility. Please check with your hospital to determine if you may be liable for our diagnostic assessment charge. If so, please provide your name, address, date of birth, and insurance information.

Contact Mike DeLauro at (203) 737-5720 (or have your doctor’s office do so) who will arrange for your slides and final report to be sent. Please give us a week’s advance notice to assemble your case.
