Labs Are Vital™ Celebrates the Life-Saving Contributions of Lab Professionals During Lab Week

Lab professionals are the unsung heroes to the millions who visit healthcare professionals each year, as 70 percent of the objective information used to make diagnostic decisions is derived from the clinical lab. In recognition of their life-saving work, Labs Are Vital™ worked with the 10 sponsoring organizations of Lab Week to send 6,000 letters to hospital executives across the country, reminding them of the indispensable role lab professionals play each day in patient care and healthcare.

Labs Are Vital is proud to support National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, April 20 to 26. We encourage you too to show your appreciation and support for the important role laboratory scientists and technicians play in healthcare! Read the full letter to hospital executives.

The following partners are proud to support Labs Are Vital™.
