National Lab of the Year

Labs across the country were judged on achievement in five areas: customer service, productivity, teamwork, education and training and strategic outlook. Salem Health stood out with its commitment to improvement and the dedication of all 226 employees who handle 1.6 million test requests at its three high-complexity laboratories, which support and oversee all point-of-care testing across our health system.
