Specialty Laboratories, founded in 1975, is a full-service, clinical reference laboratory focused on partnering with hospitals to support their role in community-based medicine and to reduce costs for episodes of care. Following their recently completed merger with AmeriPath, Inc., Specialty remains a distinct operating division and their 200,000 sq ft, state-of-the-art facility in Valencia, California has become the Esoteric Testing Division Headquarters for the newly combined organization.







Specialty will continue to provide cutting-edge research and development of new assays as well as refinement of existing diagnostic tests to produce assays with greater sensitivity, specificity, efficiency and clinical value for reliable and cost-effective patient assessment.

Together Specialty and AmeriPath are uniquely positioned to more effectively support local pathology and community-based medicine for enhanced patient care. Our complementary areas of expertise and service offerings will allow us to build on both companies' leadership positions, provide access to each other's medical and scientific expertise, expand our geographic presence to better serve our customers, and become the most valued company in our industry.



The new, broader scope of Specialty now offers clients:
  • A bi-coastal presence for efficient specimen handling and delivery services

  • A unified process for ordering and reporting both clinical and anatomic pathology testing services to expedite testing for enhanced patient care

  • Additional outreach partnership solutions to help support client hospital's growth and position in the community

  • A single-source for a comprehensive menu of both clinical and anatomic pathology laboratory services and cutting-edge molecular diagnostics

  • 24/7 Access to the clinical expertise within a network of over 400 pathologists and clinical/technical consultants
Strategic relationships with AmeriPath Esoteric Institute, The Center for Advanced Diagnostics and The Molecular Profiling Institute, Inc. (MPI), a subsidiary of Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), means Specialty can offer novel molecular-based assays to help physicians treat patients with individualized management plans. With these new genomic assays Specialty's client-partners can utilize pathways to personalized patient care that will help to build their image as a leading authority within the medical community and help position them for rapid growth.
