In May 2000, Advocate Health Care and Aurora Healthcare, entered a joint venture to create a regionalized, consolidated laboratory called ACL Laboratories.

The consolidation is a business model in which two laboratory systems are operated as one, under a single management structure. The concept of consolidating non-time dependent laboratory testing facilities has proven to significantly lower the cost per test to both health systems and contribute to improved operational and quality efficiencies. It's also become the key to success for over 2,100 laboratory professionals just like you.

Make no mistake. We are a full-service, clinical laboratory offering phlebotomy, blood bank, therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs of abuse testing, hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, biological and environmental testing, cytology, histology, immunohematology, molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics, endocrinology, mycology, parasitology, serology, and other specialized testing.

We are accredited by the College of American Pathologists, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), and we are certified in accordance with the Clinical Laboratories Improvement Act (CLIA). Our staff includes over 80 board-certified pathologists throughout Illinois and Wisconsin, PhD chemists and microbiologists, registered medical technologists/technicians, cytotechnologists, histotechnologists, phlebotomists, and specialists in information technology.
