A Smarter Model for Laboratory Management
Rethink Lab Partnerships. Reclaim Value.
A new lab model for health systems that delivers quality, long-term financial, operational, and clinical impact—without giving up strategic alignment.
At HNL Lab Medicine, we offer more than traditional lab services—we offer a partnership model designed to empower health systems to leverage their laboratory assets to unlock long-term operational, clinical, and financial opportunities.
Our model offers a compelling alternative to lab divestiture—providing long-term financial benefits while preserving laboratory oversight and strategic alignment.
This structure provides health systems with long-term financial sustainability, operational alignment, continued integration with your clinical ecosystem, and enhances your market share with a robust outpatient strategy.
Your Lab. Evolved.
Our model is built for health systems that want to:
- Maintain oversight and integration of their laboratory
- Turn their lab into a strategic revenue generator
- Reduce send-out costs and expand in-house testing capabilities
- Optimize resources and increase operational efficiency
- Drive growth through outpatient and outreach expansion
- Increase patient care access and improve hospital market share
- Expand patient access to a greater network of subject matter experts
- Leverage industry-leading technology, designed for patients and physicians
“Our partnership has been instrumental in advancing our shared goals and creating impactful solutions—allowing us to continue to grow our volumes and provide the best outcomes for our patients.”
