In honor of Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, Cooper recognizes our medical laboratory professionals and pathologists who play a vital role in health care and patient advocacy.\u00a0Lab Week, which originated in 1975, provides an opportunity to increase public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of laboratory professionals.\u00a0Did you know that 70% of medical decisions are based on laboratory results?\u00a0 As critical members of the health care team, laboratorians work behind the scenes to verify the accuracy of test results, and provide test results in a timely manner to health care providers who rely on these results to provide outstanding patient care.<\/p>\n
Cooper\u2019s laboratory team has 225 full-time and part-time team members who serve as pathologists, cytogeneticists, technologists, technicians, managers, directors, phlebotomists, pathology assistants, transcriptionists, administrative coordinators, and laboratory assistants.
