Recognizing the Vital Role of Medical Laboratory Professionals

April 21, 2025


VPQHC proudly joined healthcare organizations nationwide in celebrating Medical Laboratory Professionals Week—a time to recognize the essential contributions of laboratory professionals to patient care, public health, and the overall quality of our healthcare system.


Although their work often happens behind the scenes, medical laboratory professionals are at the heart of healthcare delivery. From routine blood tests to complex diagnostics, their expertise informs decisions that directly impact patient outcomes and population health.


Did you know? Approximately 70% of clinical decisions are based on laboratory test results. That statistic underscores just how central lab professionals are to ensuring safe, effective, and timely care.


In recognition of the critical role these professionals play, Governor Phil Scott has issued an official state proclamation honoring Medical Laboratory Professionals Week in Vermont. This acknowledgment highlights their impact and raises awareness of the profession’s importance across the state.

Thank you for all you do.
