DUBLIN, Ohio, April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH) today announced the winners and honorees of its annual Lab Excellence List, which names top clinical laboratory professionals making significant contributions to health care and patient outcomes through their research, diagnosis, innovation or advocacy. The list is part of celebrations surrounding the industry's annual Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, a more than 40-year-long tradition that celebrates lab professionals across all of health care.
"The honorees of this year's Lab Excellence List have made substantial impacts in patient safety, workflow optimization and laboratory awareness. Their efforts, passion and commitment to patient care is something we are proud to celebrate," said Chris Kerski, senior vice president and general manager, Cardinal Health Laboratory Products. "On behalf of Cardinal Health, I want to say thank you to lab professionals everywhere for their essential contributions to laboratory medicine."
Lab professionals were nominated by their peers, managers, students or colleagues (or were self-nominated) for three award categories: advocacy, patient safety and efficiency. An external panel composed of health sciences faculty at various universities rated the nominees based on contributions to and impact on the nominee's institution, leadership and innovation, awareness to the work performed by the nominee, service and mentorship and more. Based on the judges' assessment, one winner per category is selected:
Honoree Rohde said, "Whenever I am fortunate and blessed to be recognized by my peers in the medical laboratory profession, I am humbled and full of gratitude because I have the utmost respect for these professionals. Our colleagues in the profession conduct roughly 13 billion laboratory medicine tests each year, which supports about two-thirds of all medical decisions from cradle to grave. Our work is the single highest-volume medical activity affecting Americans; it forms the backbone of the public health and health care system. This award is not just about me; it represents every single one of my students, alumni, colleagues and others who advocate for this amazing, lifesaving career."
