American Health Associates has been created by combining independent laboratories, which have been successful in their individual markets, into a regional network. The combination is synergistic: the capabilities of the overall company are greater than the sum of the individual labs. Coupled with highly skilled MLT's, MT's, Phlebotomists, and the economic efficiencies that a larger company can achieve, we believe AHA is the premier clinical laboratory with a strong regional presence in Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and Washington D.C.
At AHA, we select qualified and experienced clinical technical and non-technical personnel and astute business professionals all dedicated to providing the highest quality of laboratory services to meet the needs of our diverse patient population.
