At HNL Lab Medicine, we are thrilled to share a significant milestone that exemplifies our commitment to delivering exceptional quality healthcare. Recently, our Acute Care Lab in Schuylkill underwent a comprehensive and meticulously conducted inspection by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), resulting in an achievement that reflects our dedication to excellence and innovation.

CAP is a leading organization that sets rigorous standards for laboratory quality and safety. Laboratories, including clinical, anatomical, and reference labs, voluntarily seek CAP accreditation to demonstrate their commitment to maintaining the highest levels of quality, accuracy, and patient safety. During a CAP inspection, highly trained and experienced inspectors thoroughly assess various aspects of a laboratory’s operations. Successful accreditation by CAP signifies that a laboratory meets or exceeds these stringent standards, and it demonstrates a commitment to delivering the highest quality of patient care.

The CAP inspection of our facility acknowledged the cutting-edge technology and advanced equipment in our laboratory, as well as our dedicated efforts in standardizing and automating the laboratories across our network. Our unwavering commitment to innovation forms the foundation of our capability to consistently provide our patients with the highest quality of care.

What adds to this achievement is the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from our valued partners at LVHN hospitals. We are honored to see that the Schuylkill Lab team is getting recognized for their strong commitment to providing high-quality healthcare to our community. The commendations they receive continue to validate our core mission and never-ending pursuit of making a real difference in the lives of patients.

We are very proud to have been trusted with the health and well-being of our community. Our goal is simple, set new standards in the healthcare industry using innovative techniques while providing patients with the exceptional care they deserve. Congratulations to the Schuylkill Lab team for their successful CAP inspection!
