Labcorp and Atlantic City, N.J.-based AtlantiCare are expanding an existing long-term partnership.
Labcorp said May 9 that under the new deal, it will acquire assets from AtlantiCare's clinical outreach business and operate some AtlantiCare physician office phlebotomy sites and outpatient collection services. AtlantiCare's patients will have access to Labcorp's test menu and services through the company's network of patient service centers.
"Our past collaboration with Labcorp has helped us provide comprehensive testing services to meet the growing needs of our community," President and CEO of AtlantiCare Lori Herndon, BSN, RN, said in a statement. "Most recently, this has included Labcorp's ability to provide critical testing, collections, lab equipment and supplies throughout the pandemic. This collaboration will enhance the breadth and quality of laboratory services patients and healthcare providers have come to expect from both of our organizations."
