PUTNAM — Why did Quest Diagnostics choose Putnam?
According to Mike Varone, strategic account executive, the company was looking to expand and the northeast corner of Connecticut filled the bill. “We expanded our footprint. Our clients requested we be a bit closer.”
The company has 105 patient services in the state.
The lab opened in the Putnam Parkade in East Putnam. Varone said the lab has phlebotomists to draw blood and the samples are analyzed on site. The national company is one of the largest labs in the country and can perform more than 3,500 tests.
The company can draw blood for a wide variety of tests and often results are back to the doctor that same day, depending on the test.
