The laboratory at Watson Clinic Main and the Histology lab at the Watson Clinic Bella Vista Building have received accreditations by the American College of Pathologists (CAP), the industry leader in affirming excellence among laboratory testing facilities.

These accreditations confirm that both locations adhere to the most recent best practices in the industry. They were granted following a rigorous process during which inspectors examined the laboratory records and quality control of procedures, staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety programs and overall management.

“Watson Clinic maintains the highest possible standards in providing accurate and reliable lab testing for all of our patients, which in turn results in more effective treatment measures,” says Watson Clinic Director of Laboratory Services Jacob Diaz, MHA, MLS(ASCP)CM. “These prestigious accreditations are a reflection of that commitment.”

The College of Pathologists partners with laboratories worldwide to elevate the quality of laboratory medicine with best-in-class solutions designed to drive operational excellence, achieve diagnostic confidence, and ensure the best patient care.
