Lake Forest Pediatric Associates has met all criteria for laboratory accreditation by COLA, a national health care accreditation organization promoting excellence in laboratory medicine and patient care. Accreditation is awarded only to labs that apply strict quality standards in daily operations, demonstrate continued accuracy in the performance of testing, and pass a rigorous on-site lab survey.


“Lake Forest Pediatrics is proud to serve our families with the highest quality lab services. We go the extra mile by providing convenient in-office tests not typically found in pediatric offices. Our experienced and highly trained staff has earned COLA accreditation because we are committed to a culture of quality that parents trust,” says Jerome Kaltman, MD, Laboratory Director.

 

Laboratory Manager Patricia K. Dalton, BS, MT, explains, “Our on-site lab works closely with the entire team to make sure that the pediatricians and nurse practitioners have rapid, accurate diagnostic information for each child’s care plan. We bring advanced technology into our family-focused care.”

 

Lake Forest Pediatrics completes thousands of on-site lab procedures every year, offering a full spectrum of tests for infants, children and teens.
