Since 1969
A valley institution,
five decades on.
What began as a small community lab has grown to more than 150 staff across fifteen locations — now operated by Dynacare, with a national testing catalog behind every requisition. Community-based, DAP-accredited, and still answering the phone in Kelowna.
