OLA assessors say the labs are collaborative, patient-centered and leaders in infection control and patient safety.
Laboratory Manager Shirley Read says there’s a well developed culture of safety and quality at the hospitals, saying the staff has worked extremely hard to develop and adhere to the policies and procedures.
