A message From Our CEO, Dave Dexter
“For Laboratory Sciences of Arizona and Sonora Quest Laboratories, Quality is one of our core Values, and there is no debate. Our decision is to proactively take the challenge to reduce laboratory errors by endeavoring to attain Six-Sigma...99.9997% accuracy or 3.4 ppm errors. The pursuit and attainment of Six-Sigma quality is not a quick fix...it's a major challenge, particularly, since no medical institution or laboratory has ever attained this level of quality. But this is a unique opportunity to improve the quality of healthcare we provide to our patients and clients, reduce the cost of poor quality, and distinguish Laboratory Sciences of Arizona and Sonora Quest Laboratories as the preeminent leader for laboratory medicine in Arizona. Simply put, our goal is to become the quality benchmark for laboratories in Arizona, and I am confident our 2000 plus dedicated employees are committed to providing the level of outstanding quality and service to our patients and clients that will make this goal a reality.”
