In partnership with, and under the direction of the Director of Laboratory Services, laboratory supervisors are responsible for assisting the Director and Assistant Director with supervising daily operation of Laboratory Services departments, as well as performing technical laboratory procedures on patient specimens to obtain data for use in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Supervisors are in charge of the laboratory in the absence of the Director and Assistant Laboratory Director. They model appropriate behavior as exemplified in THE HCMC MISSION STATEMENT, which reflects commitment to the Continuous Improvement Process.
