WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital recognizes Medical Laboratory Professionals Week April 23-29

BUCKHANNON, W.Va. — WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital is recognizing its laboratory staff during Medical Laboratory Professionals Week April 23 through April 29. 

The week is an annual celebration of the vital role that medical laboratory professionals and pathologists play in health care and patient advocacy.  The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) chose the theme “The Future is Lab” for 2023.
