Quest Diagnostics, a laboratory services business, has completed its purchase of select laboratory assets from Columbus-based OhioHealth.
The two parties signed an agreement for the assets in early July, with financial terms from the transaction not shared.
The purchase aims to expand access to cost-effective laboratory services in Ohio. Most of the outreach testing formerly performed by OhioHealth will be provided by Quest's Pittsburgh-based full-service laboratory, according to an Oct. 14 news release.
"OhioHealth will continue to own and operate its network of hospital labs for inpatient and hospital-based outpatient care as well as anatomic pathology and oncology services," the release said.
