We have been awarded the COLA Laboratory Excellence Award, a prestigious recognition that underscores our commitment to delivering accurate and timely lab results that match the standards of hospital-grade care.
What is COLA and Why Does It Matter?
COLA is a physician-directed organization that promotes health and safety through accreditation and educational programs. It ensures that laboratories like ours adhere to the strictest standards in patient testing, quality control, and overall laboratory practices. Being COLA-accredited means that our lab is held to the same rigorous standards as labs in hospital settings, so you can trust that the care you receive from AMC Urgent Care Plus is on par with the best in the industry.
This award signifies that our laboratory has not only met but exceeded the essential criteria set forth by COLA during its on-site survey. It’s a reflection of our lab’s consistent compliance with high-quality standards, our flawless record in proficiency testing, and our dedication to delivering accurate results without sustained complaints.
