LabCorp envisions key role for center here

In Von Hagen's email message to the Journal, he said, "Over the past few months, we have appreciated the chance to develop a closer relationship with Mayor Condon and other business, civic, community, and academic leaders and institutions in the greater Spokane area, and we look forward to building on that in the future." LabCorp didn't comment specifically on the future of the operation here in a press release issued May 4 about completing the PAML acquisition, other than to say there would be no significant changes to operations or services here until all joint venture transactions are completed. In acquiring PAML from former joint owners Providence Health & Services and Catholic Health Initiatives, LabCorp assumed PAML's ownership interests in a number of joint ventures, which collectively serve customers in six Western states and Kentucky.
