LAB WEEK

What is Lab Week?

Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (Lab Week) is an annual celebration of medical laboratory professionals and pathologists who play a vital role in health care and patient advocacy! Lab Week gives us an opportunity to generate new awareness and excitement about the laboratory medicine profession. By getting the word out—to your networks, your local communities, and your healthcare colleagues—you can help everyone understand and appreciate the importance of the work you do.

Lab Week 2025 will be held April 20-26, 2025!

🙌 High Five Program !

The High Five Program is our new way to recognize and appreciate each other’s hard work! Spot a coworker going above and beyond? Grab a hand cutout, write them a quick note of thanks or recognition, and post it on the High Five Board. Every month, we’ll highlight some of the shoutouts on the board and in our email spotlight — and yes, there may be treats and goodies involved!

“Happy Lab Week and thank you for all you do for Los Robles! As I have onboarded to Los Robles it has been such a pleasure to get to spend time in the lab and get to meet many of you. With a newly full lab leadership team and lots of projects in flight we are set up for a really great 2025 in the lab! I hope you are able to enjoy some of the many events that have been planned this week, and if you have ideas for the lab or the hospital please stop me during the week and discuss so we can keep improving! Have a wonderful week, and thank you for all you do for our patients!”
