The health and well-being of our Employees and Clients is our number one priority. Quality, and confidence in our services is critical now more than ever considering the growing concerns about COVID-19 impacting the global environment. We are continually monitoring the situation and are following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. We will continue to work with our customers to ensure we can provide you with the services needed while taking the appropriate measures to protect our staff and your test samples. The following actions list some of the measures we are currently taking.
• Employees that have the ability to work at home will do so.
• Critical test activities have been defined and a plan developed which will allow microbiologists to work a rotating schedule in order to minimize contact between associates yet ensure critical tests are carried out as scheduled.
• We have increased our already rigorous cleaning and disinfection activities to include on-going activities throughout each work day in all laboratories and sample receipt/handling areas.
• Any employee that discovers they may have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 are required to report this to management and self-quarantine for 14 days.
• All international and non-essential domestic travel has been cancelled.
• On-site visits including audits will be postponed. You will be contacted to reschedule your visit.
At this time, we do not anticipate any major impact to testing, if we anticipate there may be a delay you will be contacted immediately. These measures are not static and considering the uncertainty and unknowns with the situation, we want to stress that there is potential for change and we ask for your understanding in that event. LexaMed is committed to protecting our employees and community while doing our best to service our customers, please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Rocile Parton
President and CEO
