BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gather Labs, a concierge medical testing laboratory that provides same-day results for a variety of viruses, diseases, and health conditions, today announces the expansion of its flagship facility, as they’ve acquired another 1000 square feet of operational space in Beverly Hills and added three new diagnostic instruments (BioRad Bioplex, Abbott Architect, Sysmex XN-530), unlocking three new testing services for the company’s already extensive same-day test menu and services. With this expansion, healthcare providers and walk-in patients alike can expect the same level of care, concierge comfort, and rapid resulting that made Gather Labs a standout for COVID-19 diagnostics applied to scores of routine and pre-op labs like metabolic panels, STI and STD tests, hormonal panels, pre-operation screenings, and more.
"Gather Labs exists to fix one of the most broken components of our healthcare system: the excessive wait times, gatekeeping, and unnecessary runaround currently associated with diagnostic labs," said Rachael McCrary, founder and CEO of Gather Labs. "Our first year proved our concept and secured our position within the local and medical community. Now, by investing those returns into these new instruments and expanding our core capabilities, we are able to meet a much larger need and apply our same-day diagnostic protocol to the kinds of life-saving tests that are currently taking several days or weeks to process elsewhere. We're showcasing the true potential of modern diagnostics, setting a new standard for the healthcare system, and hopefully inspiring others to rise to that standard along the way."
Since opening its doors in January 2022 as a rapid COVID-19 test provider during the height of the Omicron surge, Gather Labs has continued to positively disrupt the diagnostics industry by offering same-day results for more than 100 of the most common and critical diagnostic tests and panels — many of which healthcare leaders never realized were possible to test for so rapidly until they discovered Gather Labs’ unique, industry-first approach. As the demand for these accelerated services increased throughout that first year, Gather Labs expanded its offerings to take on the entire spectrum of diagnostic testing from UTIs, STDs & STIs, strep throat, RSV, A1C, and other infectious diseases. The company is also able to quickly process results for cardiac screenings, metabolic panels, thyroid tests, and more.
This tried-and-true testing method has earned Gather Labs a rare 100 percent CLIA compliance rating as a result of its continued commitment to turnaround high-complexity quantitative lab results in 24 hours or less, along with its demonstrated ability to seamlessly integrate into existing medical systems. The company partners with various healthcare providers, facilities, and hospitals to accelerate testing while also serving walk-in patients in a spa-like environment, with most results available within three hours. By delivering lab results in only as much time as is needed, Gather Labs is reimagining the diagnostics workflow and bringing value to the local community with potentially life-changing turnaround times for those in need.
