Laboratory services at Allina Health

Laboratory services in most Allina Health clinics have transitioned to Quest Diagnostics (Quest), a nationwide leader in laboratory services.

This means Quest employees (many of whom transitioned from Allina Health) provide your laboratory care (examples: blood draws and diagnostic tests) using Quest-managed equipment and processes in most Allina Health clinics. There are no changes to inpatient testing in our hospitals.

Our commitment to you

Allina Health and Quest Diagnostics are fully committed to maintaining the expert care you know and trust. Every effort is being made to limit disruptions and delays to your care.
