The department of pathology and laboratory medicine celebrated National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week April 14–20 with games, prizes and goodies each day of the week — from bagels, cookies and donuts to pizza and friendship bracelets.
National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week is an annual celebration of medical laboratory professionals and pathologists whose support was pivotal through the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to play a vital role in health care and patient advocacy.
This year’s theme, “The Lab is Everything,” celebrated laboratory professionals who protect our future by skillfully adapting to meet today’s evolving patient care and public health challenges with resilience, innovation and expertise.
National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week is sponsored by the American Society for Clinical Pathology and coordinated by 17 national clinical laboratory organizations.
