Quest Diagnostics provides diagnostic information services, connecting clinicians and consumers with laboratory insights used to identify and treat disease. The company works with approximately half the physicians and hospitals in the United States, and its services reach one in three American adults each year. Its stated mission is to create a healthier world, one life at a time, delivered through smarter, simpler testing and information that supports healthy behaviours and better healthcare management.

The organisation employs nearly 57,000 people, supported by a medical and scientific staff of more than 700 M.D.s and Ph.D.s. Technical work spans clinical laboratory diagnostics, diagnostic information services, laboratory testing, and specimen logistics and transport.
