My dad worked at a school which had asbestos, so respiratory issues are close to home for my family. The virus hasn't fully impacted our city yet but I'm grateful to all the lab staff working hard at Hamilton's hospitals to prepare to save lives. Thank you thank you thank you, your work is so important. #hamiltonhealthsciences
#MedLabThx
Medical Laboratory Week is April 11-April 17, 2021!
Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs) and Medical Laboratory Assistant/Technicians (MLA/Ts) serve a crucial role in healthcare, conducting approximately 244.8 million lab tests annually for Ontario’s population of 14.75 million. Although the pandemic this past year has added 11+ million PCR tests, Medical Laboratory Professionals do way more than COVID-19 testing.
