Courage, compassion and commitment. These are the values exemplified by Quest

phlebotomist Mona Carrico, pictured above with patient Eddie Quaas, and embraced

every day by Quest Diagnostics as they continue to drive toward fulfilling their mission

to be the undisputed world leader in diagnostic testing, information and services.

“ When Eddie was diagnosed with cancer, I told myself I would do everything I could to make his life as normal and positive as possible. Going to Quest Diagnostics made such a difference. Mona made sure Eddie never had to dread the countless blood draws, and her friendship became one of the real bright spots in his treatment.”
