Billie’s Corner – Celebrating Our Lab Professionals: Heroes Behind the Scenes

By Billie Whitehurst, CEO

The week of April 21st marked another successful Lab Week celebration. It was the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on all of you. National Medical Laboratory Week is a special time dedicated to recognizing the incredible work and dedication of laboratory professionals.

Your work plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of laboratory tests, which are essential for diagnosing and treating patients. Your expertise and commitment to quality make a significant impact on patient care and outcomes. At Orchard, we are immensely proud of our laboratory partners.

Orchy Mystery Machine

I hope you had an enjoyable Lab Week and were celebrated for your unwavering dedication to excellence. With this year’s Scooby-Doo theme, we took the liberty of having Orchy drive the Mystery Machine. He enjoyed visits to multiple labs, and our account management team was energized by visiting many of you and seeing your tremendous work in action. We were inspired and reminded of the responsibility we have to maintain and grow our products and service in order to support the amazing work that you do.

As we reflect on Lab Week, we will continue to recognize and support our laboratory professionals throughout the year. Your contributions are invaluable, and your work is at the heart of what we do. Thank you to all our lab heroes for your dedication and excellence. You truly make a difference every day. Let’s keep the celebration going all year long!
