Nomi Health: A National Leader in Laboratory Quality and Rigor
In just over two years, Nomi Health has become one of the nation’s most reliable and prolific providers of community-based COVID-19 testing. With operations in more than 15 states and growing, Nomi Health is trusted by local governments and leading organizations to seamlessly administer more than 130,000 tests every single day across the country. Central to our ability to scale nationwide and serve Americans in the face of this pandemic is our rigorous laboratory and clinical processes, powered by an experienced team of more than 100 clinicians. Our lab processes enable high throughput volumes without sacrificing quality. The team has set up validation processes to the absolute highest standards, as well as opened entire labs in under two weeks, while other providers take months.
"In every laboratory setting I’ve led, I thrive on ensuring patients, hospitals and partners are receiving the highest quality product from a best-in-class team."
