Updated August 5, 2020: While the situation with COVID-19 remains fluid, our diagnostic laboratory services and courier service continue operation and are striving to maintain routine business hours of operation to meet your needs and those of your patients. However, due to limited depth of staffing and health concerns, some laboratories are adjusting schedules on a day-to-day basis. We encourage you to call prior to submitting samples as supply chain interruptions may also create periodic delays. We will do our best to meet your needs and those of your patients. Please stay safe and well during this crisis.
