San Diego, CA, August 04, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Accumen Inc. has announced their newest Lab Excellence partner, Mercy Health, in a multi-year engagement to create world class laboratories for patients and caregivers, delivering highest quality and customer service at lower costs.

Mercy Health is the seventh largest Catholic health care system in the United States and has more than 30 hospital-based laboratories and several clinic-based laboratories. The system is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri and includes 46 acute care and specialty hospitals. Their system contains more than 700 physician practices and outpatient facilities, 40,000 co-workers, and more than 2,000 Mercy Clinical physicians in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
