The laboratories at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare (MLH) have been awarded reaccreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP).

The system of laboratories at MLH includes its five adult hospitals and Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, as well as other providers such as affiliated physicians offices, surgery centers, and other outside services. Mahul Amin, MD, is chairman of pathology for MLH.

The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal-to or more-stringent-than the government's own inspection program.

During the CAP accreditation process inspectors examine the laboratory's records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
