Laboratory Services and Consultations Ltd, often called “Lab Services”, was established in August 1993. It is essentially a family business which included Dr. Stephen King, Mr. Walter Joseph, Mrs. Anne King, Mrs. Rumelia Dalphinis - King and Mrs. Alison King-Joseph. Our staff at the beginning was small and we were a tight knit team. We started with five staff members and we have grown to thirty five staff members. We cannot talk about lab services without recognizing the individuals who helped us, of which there are many, but there are two who deserve special mention the then Minister of Health, Hon Stephenson King presided over our opening and was instrumental in ensuring that we opened. Mr. Michael Chastanet was our landlord at Gablewoods mall where we started, however he was more than just our landlord he helped us to establish the business. The rationale for establishing the laboratory was to set up a service that would push the envelope of laboratory services in Saint Lucia. This we have continued to do. Our laboratory was the first to establish integrated computerized information systems interfaced to laboratory machines. Our laboratory continues to lead the way in the introduction of new tests as guided by feedback from our physicians. Our laboratory continues to lead by being the very first medical laboratory to receive international accreditation this we achieved by meeting Accreditation Canada’s Qmentum standards as verified by Accreditation Canada auditors in June 2010.
