Field Diagnostics Celebrates Grand Opening, Bringing Extensive Medical Services to Del Rio

Del Rio residents now have easier access to essential medical testing and wellness services thanks to the opening of Field Diagnostics, a new locally-owned laboratory. Located at 401 W Cantu Rd. STE F, right next door to the Del Rio News Network offices, Field Diagnostics celebrated its grand opening on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at 11 AM.

Founder Jose Campos expressed excitement about bringing comprehensive lab services to the community. "We feel great. We're excited to bring all of these services to the Del Rio area," Campos said during the opening celebration.

Field Diagnostics has a history in meeting urgent healthcare needs. Initially launched as a mobile laboratory in 2020, the company was created to bridge the gap for communities struggling to access timely COVID-19 testing. Campos, who has been involved in laboratory services since 2009 and took on more significant roles starting in 2013, recognized the acute need for mobile laboratory solutions early in the pandemic.

During the peak of COVID-19, Field Diagnostics expanded rapidly, providing vital testing services across various regions including El Paso, Eagle Pass, Laredo, McAllen, and San Antonio, alongside Del Rio. The company specifically focused on underserved populations such as special-needs patients, pregnant women, bed-bound individuals, and immunocompromised patients who faced challenges visiting traditional healthcare facilities.

Since those early days, Field Diagnostics has grown significantly. Beyond COVID-19 testing, the lab now offers routine blood work, DNA testing, STD screenings, drug tests for employers and personal use, and direct-access laboratory services, even without insurance or doctor’s orders.

Field Diagnostics' recent additions include IV hydration therapy, wellness injections, and vitamin injections, further broadening the range of health and wellness solutions available locally.

"We want Del Rio to know that there is a place to do lab work and diagnostic testing, and also wellness visits," Campos added. "and they don't have to travel far or pay a lot of money out of pocket in order to get these services."
