The health and safety of physicians, clients, and the communities they serve remain the top priority for Northshore Clinical Labs. Times are uncertain, in the face of the global Covid-19 pandemic, but they are dedicated to being a part of the solution.
Since the onset of the global pandemic, Northshore Clinical Lab has been offering corporate on-demand and on-site visits for Covid-19 testing. Corporations of all sizes have set up testing events with Northshore. The company’s testing pop-ups now operate 24/7 as positivity rates continue to climb.
Northshore Clinical Labs has since worked with many companies, over the better part of the last 2 years, by providing on-site Covid-19 testing. One client, Bazaar Inc, represents the effectiveness of Northshore Clinical labs’ on-site vaccine clinics. Bazaar’s HR Lead, Garret Rosiek, says “Since our on-site testing has commenced with Northshore, we have been better able to support our employees and their family members better mentally and physically. Giving faster results on-site, instead of when our employees used to get tested off-site, has greatly decreased the time our employees have been out of work just waiting for results. Because of the quick turnaround with getting our results back, it has wholly mitigated the spread of COVID-19 at our facility. We have also seen the trending decrease to a whomping 0% or employees testing positive over the past two weeks within our facilities.”
Corporations and organizations who partner with Northshore Clinical Labs have the results delivered in an incredibly fast timeline. Thanks to state-of-the-art computer and communication systems, transmission of results is very fast and streamlined. With fast relay of results, their partners can develop a course of action going forward based on the results.
Additionally, partners can request complimentary services, courier services and portal access. Each benefit geared towards streamlining the user experience.
The American Association of Pathologists accredited testing facility is more than well-equipped for the task ahead. Indeed, Northshore Clinical Labs can see an estimated 20,000 samples each day. This is thanks to the testing facility’s multiplexed system, which allows for lab technicians to manipulate samples and conduct up to four tests or reactions simultaneously on each sample.
To date, Northshore Clinical Labs has administered hundreds of thousands of tests. Adding up to these numbers have ranged from residents in nursing homes, employees in corporations, members of churches, students in colleges, and volunteers in varying non profit organizations.
In just the past year, Northshore Clinical Labs has partnered with and been able to provide testing services support to more than 100 summer camps. These on-site testing campaigns have been geared at ensuring a safe and healthy environment for everyone on site. The lab is looking to partner with more camps going forward.
The labs’ strategic partnership with the Chicago Department of Health is now accepting registrations for and safely delivering vaccinations. This, is at no out-of-pocket cost to those getting the vaccines, and is in strict accordance with the state-specific eligibility criteria for Covid-19 vaccinations. The lab is currently accepting applications for registration for companies with at least 50 employees.
Since Thanksgiving week, Northshore Clinical Labs has been on a fully operational 24/7 schedule. Gaurav Mohindra, Director of Business Development & Partnerships at Northshore Clinical Labs, states “To support the increasing positivity rates in local communities, as well as supporting testing during the emergence of the Omicron variant, we’re expanding hours at our clinics and supporting outbreaks that our clients are experiencing with more frequent testing at their locations. Those locations can range from airports to private businesses. We’re going to support the 24/7 schedule as long as we need to.”
Away from matters Covid-19 testing and wellness promotion, Northshore Clinical Labs continues to put in a lot of effort towards supporting their local community in a humble way. Through a non-profit initiative with Shower Up, Northshore seeks to help support an abundance of homeless to access showers and hygiene products. This initiative has indeed had significant impact, with many homeless benefiting from the program. On this front, Northshore Clinical Labs also continues to seek partnerships that will give more impetus to the program. Raising thousands of dollars every month is the goal in support of this worthy cause.
The holidays are here, and it can get quite busy. Northshore Clinical Labs continues to encourage everyone to take advantage of the extended holiday hours, and get tested during any time of the day. Indeed, the testing facility is looking at expanding its reach in 2022, to millions and help in promoting a safer environment.
