Gravity Diagnostics Receives Accreditation From the College of American Pathologists
Covington, Kentucky, Feb. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has awarded accreditation to Gravity Diagnostics based on the results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Programs.
James (JP) Canner, Gravity's Chief Science Officer & Laboratory Director, was advised of this national recognition by CAP and congratulated for the excellence of the services being provided.
"We have an amazing team at Gravity Diagnostics that is constantly striving to provide the best service for our patients," said Canner. "I would like to specifically thank our General Supervisor, Leon Friesen, and Director of Laboratory Operations, Oscar Diaz for their work on this accreditation."
Gravity Diagnostics is one of more than 8,000 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.
"Our CAP accreditation is the direct result of the impeccable standards, hard work, and intentional effort set forth by each employee in our world-class lab,” said Tony Remington, Gravity’s CEO and Founder. “They're constantly exploring new ways to improve our testing lines, lab operations, and capabilities. Without them, Gravity would not exist."
The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal to or more stringent than the government’s own inspection program.
During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control procedures for the preceding two years.
CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
