The St Joseph Mercy Hospital (SJMH) has entered into a partnership with a Caribbean laboratory facility that will enhance the hospital’s capacity to provide timely diagnosis and value-based medical care to its patients.
Last week, SJMH’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Deborrah Ramsay announced the hospital’s agreement with Trinidad-based NexGen Pathology, a laboratory fully accredited with the College of American Pathologists (CAP) that specialises in Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, Molecular Diagnostics and Genetic Studies.
Giving a brief overview of what the partnership entails, CEO and Founder of NexGen Pathology, Dr Wesley Greaves, a specialist in Molecular Genetics Pathology, explained that a main component of the laboratory’s services is Surgical Pathology, which involves diagnosing surgical specimens, including breast biopsies and skin biopsies.
