In partnership with the Government Relations team, members of the Southeast Region team held an event on February 20, 2025 at the Georgia State Capitol and witnessed Quest receiving recognition as the local lab for Georgia during the Georgia House of Representatives session.
This event opportunity was a direct result of the incredible service our more than 1,300 Georgia-based colleagues provide day-in and day-out to the numerous clients and the more than 3 million patients serviced each year across the Peach State.
Southeast Region leaders were honored to share how Quest is making health a priority in the communities where we live and work, which will get us that much closer to achieving our purpose of Working together to create a healthier world, one life at a time.
A day at the Capitol
From 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM ET, the Quest Mobile Coach was parked outside the Capitol building in Atlanta providing free hemoglobin A1c testing and access to Quest's InSure® One™ screening kits.
