The approximately 25,000-square-foot facility features expanded capabilities and new equipment for performing high-quality and efficient testing—creating more robust lab offerings for the community. The laboratory, which currently employs 100 individuals, will include STAT testing to expedite results for high-priority tests.

“This new lab offers increased capabilities for microbiology testing, allowing for a more flexible test menu that is tailored to fit the needs of our providers,” said Amy Rhine-Pallas, senior vice president of Labcorp’s North Central Division. “Ultimately, this leads to better patient diagnoses and outcomes. Our goal is to continue to invest in and provide the highest-quality service to patients and health care providers across the Midwest.”

Labcorp acquired the diagnostic clinical laboratory testing business of South Bend Medical Foundation in October 2019, considerably enhancing the scope of local services Labcorp offers to hospitals, physicians and patients across parts of Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. The new laboratory further expands services to include northwestern Indiana and southern Michigan, and provides the communities in these areas with increased access and more efficient diagnostic testing solutions. In addition, the laboratory underscores Labcorp’s commitment to Indiana and builds on its strong operating presence in the state, which includes Labcorp Drug Development’s central laboratory and other facilities in Indianapolis. Labcorp currently has a number of open positions at the South Bend facility. To apply for one of these jobs, please visit: http://www.labcorp.com/careers.
