was created to provide current and up-to-date information on laboratory testing in an easy-to-use format for both consumers and healthcare professionals. At eLabc, we believe that researching medical information is beneficial, but can also be overwhelming, especially given the number of ‘medical’ sites found on the Internet. In addition, while the Internet has made information assessable and easy to obtain, not all information is accurate, applicable or relevant. eLabc’s goal is to simplify laboratory testing information through our informational network, and provide a way for the patient, physician, laboratorian and the medical laboratory industry to connect with each other in a single commonality. eLABc was built on a single platform – to provide relevant and vital information on laboratory testing in a user-friendly format.
