Douglas S. Harrington, M.D., PHDC Chief Medical Officer and Morningstar Laboratories Director commented, “Morningstar’s CLP for the state of Pennsylvania is highly significant to PHDC’s growth and expansion of services into targeted regions. As the fifth most populous state in the U.S., Pennsylvania has a vast healthcare landscape, but one challenged with unmet medical needs and broad disparities in access to healthcare services. Morningstar’s entry into Pennsylvania enables us to provide much needed laboratory services to large communities, both urban and rural, while also adding another state to our certification footprint, now spanning 4 states, including the 1st and 5th most populous.
“Due to the pandemic and even at the present time, Pennsylvania’s healthcare system is overburdened with daily COVID-19 cases that are amongst the highest in our country,” Dr. Harrington added. “Morningstar’s COVID-19 antibody testing services provide another much-needed resource for hospitals, physicians and patients statewide.”
Morningstar, a PHDC company, is a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory and is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). In addition to Pennsylvania, Morningstar holds current licensures for its operations in California, Rhode Island, and Maryland.
