| Laboratory Staff Honored During National Laboratory Week |
| |  | |
Lincoln Medical Center laboratory performs thousands of tests each year to confirm diagnoses, rule out suspected conditions or monitor treatment. Beginning April 20 through April 26, 2008, Lincoln Medical Center is recognizing the contributions of its laboratory professionals during National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week.
Medical laboratory professionals are dedicated to preventing serious illness and disability from before a child is born and throughout the golden years of life. Using state-of-the-art technology and instrumentation, they perform and supervise tests that not only search for potential health problems in the hops of identifying the disease early when it is most treatable, but also guide and assess the ongoing care of patients.
Laboratories also play a critical, front-line role in the detection of infectious agents, such as those that might be employed in a bioterrorist attack.
“We are proud of the work we do,” said Ben Gatlin, Laboratory Director. “Our staff should be commended for their diligent work.”
