Vision and Mission Statements
To provide innovative pathology solutions that enable healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes.
Our group has a proven track record of making a significant difference in every hospital and laboratory to which we provide professional direction. Our continued success is tied to a combination of good medical practice, appropriate business support, information technology advances, ethical billing practices, strength in the market place and superior quality of rendered services. We are directed and owned by our pathologists members with each hospital Medical Director responsible for decisions in conjunction with the administration on site. Support for pathology services and expert pathologists in APMG are provided as requested by the Medical Director and administration. Technology allows us to instantly query each other about changing problems, complicated cases or updates. We have developed a type of neural network learning pattern that allows each of us to rapidly adapt best practice procedures.
