Salem Memorial District Hospital is proud to announce that its Clinical Laboratory has received excellent results from its most recent Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) inspection. Surveyors praised the lab team’s performance, noting only four minor items—areas they said are often cited only when no significant issues are present.
“This outcome is a testament to the skill, dedication, and professionalism of our laboratory staff,” said Brooke Bollman, CEO. “Every test performed in our lab plays a vital role in patient care, and our community can be confident that those results are held to the highest standards of quality and accuracy.”
CLIA inspections are rigorous reviews conducted by federal regulators to ensure laboratories meet strict standards for safety, accuracy, and reliability in testing. The overwhelmingly positive report reflects the hospital’s ongoing commitment to patient safety and continuous improvement.
“This success is about more than just passing an inspection—it represents the culture of excellence we are building at Salem Memorial Hospital,” said Bollman. “Our patients, families, and community deserve the very best, and this inspection affirms that is what we are delivering.”
The hospital extended gratitude to its laboratory professionals for their hard work and to the entire clinical team for supporting high-quality patient care across all departments.
