Hartford Healthcare to sell clinical lab service to Quest Diagnostics

Hartford Hospital is Hartford Healthcare's flagship hospital.

New Jersey’s Quest Diagnostics said Tuesday that it will acquire a clinical testing lab service owned by a Hartford Healthcare subsidiary.

Quest Diagnostics will acquire the outreach laboratory service business of Clinical Laboratory Partners, the two sides announced. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Clinical Laboratory Partners is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Healthcare (HHC), which owns five Connecticut hospitals, including Hartford Hospital and the Hospital of Central Connecticut.

CLP provides clinical lab testing to physicians in Connecticut, acting as the outreach laboratory services provider for HHC. Outreach lab services are provided to local physicians and patients separate from hospital inpatient or outpatient care. Under the agreement, CLP will transition laboratory testing now provided by its lab in Newington, to Quest’s rapid-response clinical laboratories in Stratford, Torrington and Wallingford, and full-service clinical laboratory in Marlborough, Mass.

The acquisition also includes several CLP patient service centers.

HHC’s hospital-based laboratories and the inpatient and outpatient services they provide are not included in the deal, and will remain part of the Hartford Healthcare system.
