Numerous vendors have stated how they enjoy coming to our lab because everyone is so helpful and friendly. The staff believes that training is a journey and not a destination so everyone is approachable for questions. We constantly strive to provide the best quality care to our patients; therefore we are always implementing better ways to do things. Since we have only been opened since 2006 you won't hear us say "We don't do it that way". We want your great ideas. Our newest employees are our greatest assets as they bring ideas from other laboratories. We hire generalists who are comfortable in chemistry hematology and blood bank. We send our microbiology tests to our sister hospital but do perform stat gram stains on site. Our dynamic supervisors are actively engaged in all the departments and take calls anytime because they are committed to providing excellent service and our medical director is always reachable by phone and insists on being called by his first name.
