The Summit Health laboratory is also NJDOH, CLIA compliant, and New York State-licensed.
CAP accreditation is considered the gold standard of laboratory accreditation and requires successful performance in stringent proficiency testing, quality control of procedures, staff qualifications, safety programs, and overall management.
Summit Health’s Department of Laboratory and Pathology Medicine completed a comprehensive inspection by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) in 2021 and met standards set forth by CAP across departments. The lab will operate 24 hours, 365 days a year to provide optimal turnaround times for all testing performed on site.
