Holzer Clinic’s skilled laboratory professionals have the expertise
to unlock important medical information that is pivotal to the diagnosis, treatment,
and prevention of disease.
April 19, 2010, Gallipolis, OH - Holzer Clinic’s physician
leadership and administration recognize the clinical laboratory professional is a key
member of today’s health care team and honor them during this 2010 National Medical
Laboratory Professionals Week – April 18-24, 2010. In addition to celebrating the
national holiday, Holzer Clinic’s Advanced Laboratory is also celebrating 30 years of
quality laboratory service. Celebration activities are scheduled throughout the week
to honor these medical professionals.
Holzer Clinic’s skilled laboratory professionals have the expertise to unlock
important medical information that is pivotal to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
of disease. To assure quality services, Holzer Clinic’s Advanced Laboratory retains
highly qualified and motivated professionals who recognize that service excellence is
comprised of both demonstrated concern for individuals and unequalled technical competence.
All Medical Technologists and Cytotechnologists have earned bachelor’s degrees and
Medical Laboratory Technicians have earned at a minimum associate’s degrees demonstrating
their long standing commitment to the field. Interactive teamwork and mutual respect
sustain this commitment.
Every day, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare workers depend on Holzer Clinic’s
Advanced Laboratory professionals to perform tests on blood and other body fluids,
interpret the results, and help provide a complete picture of a patient’s health.
Using modern biomedical equipment and complicated analysis, laboratorians can detect
the presence of cancer, identify infectious viruses and bacteria, and measure glucose,
cholesterol, or drug levels in blood. Without this precise and valuable information,
medicine would simply become guesswork. These professionals are not only a member of the
clinic’s team, they are increasingly found outside the traditional laboratory, promoting
healthy living and supporting community activities.
National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (NMLPW) began in 1975 under the auspices
of the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (then the American Society for Medical
Technology). Now, numerous organizations participate as co-sponsors and campaign supporters.
NMLPW is celebrating their 35th year.
Whatever the setting -- behind the scenes or out in our communities – our laboratory
professionals are by your side, working as key members of your health care team. Please
join them in celebrating National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, their 30th
anniversary and their vital role in promoting and protecting your health. Laboratory
professionals get results!
