Who?It appears that several administrators have moved out of PAML and on to other roles. Lots of questions about the JVs too
I'm in the Seattle area and there is only one Quest location. It's in Bellevue. It's not a very accessible area for anybody outside of the downtown area. The most patients feel that it's just not even an entity here they have no presence.
Knew this was in the wind. As an employee of one of the mentioned joint venture lab systems, we heard several weeks ago, but we are Providence employees, so we weren't for sale, only some joint ventures would go their way. All I can say is that the nuns used to run the show, and then it was the most awesome place to be. Now that corporate has professional business heads, it has taken a more callus tone. Still, happy to be a Providence employee. I wish all my friends up in Spokane the best. Lab Corp maybe the competition, but I'll never despise PAML, only Quest Diagnostics gets that treatment.
If you've ever seen the Quest warehouse lab near West Hills, you'd think twice. Imagine an industrial warehouse with testing instrumentation and all open air with a 50 foot ceiling. Concrete floor. Scary, considering most competitive laboratories with controlled air systems nowadays. Imagine a mob run methlab, and that's the feeling I had.Patient service center and blood draws, got it.
From a laboratory side I've always viewed Quest as higher quality than LabCorp. From a former dynacare person perspective
