American Health Associates, Inc. is a Florida-based clinical reference laboratory that was founded in October of 1990. The company was founded as a physician office laboratory that served many doctors throughout South Florida for nearly ten years. The company, over time, due to competition from large, national laboratories such as LabCorp and Quest, began to pursue providing services to a segment of the laboratory testing market that, to that time, had largely been underserved.
American Health Associates is based in Davie, FL and now is the largest provider of laboratory services to the long-term care market in the United States. Coupled with highly skilled MLT’s, MT’s, Phlebotomists, and the economic efficiencies that a larger company can achieve, we believe that AHA will become the premier clinical laboratory with a strong initial regional presence in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and WDC.
At American Health Associates, we select qualified and experienced clinical technical and non-technical personnel and astute business professionals all dedicated to providing the highest quality of laboratory services to meet the needs of our diverse patient population. The time is now, join us and see your laboratory career grow!
