Midwest Transplant Network (MTN) is proud to announce that its Laboratory Services has once again demonstrated its exceptional standards and commitment to excellence, earning an outstanding review during a recent onsite inspection by the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI).
“I’m proud to announce that the laboratory inspection concluded with zero deficiencies — marking our third consecutive ASHI inspection with no citations,” said Chief of Laboratory Services, Christina Bishop, MT (ASCP), PhD, F(ACHI).
The outstanding result reflects the laboratory team’s unwavering dedication, deep expertise and pursuit of excellence. “When I say we have one of the best laboratories in the country, it’s not just a statement — it’s a fact recognized by our peers and accrediting organizations alike,” Bishop added.
ASHI, along with the College of American Pathologists (CAP), is one of the premier accrediting bodies for MTN’s laboratory. The rigorous evaluations ensure that Midwest Transplant Network continues to meet and exceed the highest standards in histocompatibility and immunogenetics.
In celebration, the Laboratory Services team chose to mark the occasion with an ice cream sundae bar — a sweet reward for their hard work and dedication. Smiles and sprinkles were in abundance as the team enjoyed a well-deserved moment of joy.
Congratulations to Laboratory Services for their continued effort to provide outstanding service and patient care in support of saving and enhancing lives through organ, eye and tissue donation.
