Pittsburgh-based Allegheny Health Network opened an outpatient center with a lab in New Kensington, Pa., according to a Dec. 6 TribLive report.
The new center replaces an older one that closed in September, the report said. Allegheny Health officials said the old one was not cost-effective because it needed less than one-sixth of the space that was leased.
The new lab includes padded chairs that can be reclined, raised and lowered to help reduce back pain when staff is performing medical procedures, the report said.
