Proven Diagnostics Outsources Transportation to MedSpeed

Leading Healthcare Logistics Company Partners with Geisinger Health System Venture

Elmhurst, IL, October 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- MedSpeed LLC, a leading provider of integrated transportation services to the healthcare industry, announced today that it has entered into a collaboration with Proven Diagnostics (PDx) to manage and execute same-day transportation services. Located in Bethlehem, PA, Proven Diagnostics is a new venture launched by Geisinger Health System to provide medical professionals throughout Pennsylvania access to an array of clinical laboratory services.

Faced with a choice between building an internal operation or outsourcing to a specialist, PDx made the decision to work with MedSpeed.

“Partnering with MedSpeed made sense both economically and operationally,” said Candice Miller, CEO, PDx. “Rather than building an internal department, we worked closely with MedSpeed to tailor their existing technology and operational best practices to meet our needs and to ensure a ‘best-in-class’ service solution for our clients.”

To support PDx, MedSpeed opened a hub operation in Bethlehem, PA and brought its 100% employee-based workforce, company-owned fleet, and sophisticated scanning and tracking software to the relationship. MedSpeed worked with PDx prior to launching operations to integrate and streamline business processes for the movement of specimens and supplies.

“We are delighted to announce our new partnership,” said Jake Crampton, CEO, MedSpeed. “Proven Diagnostics’ commitment to exceptional service aligns with our core values and we are confident that our transportation solution will position it for rapid growth.”
