FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Reference-lab depth meets in-clinic speed: IAHA's two exclusive diagnostic partners join forces so independent hospitals can send out specialty testing or run routine panels in-house, through one coordinated relationship.
Irvine, Calif., Oct. 28, 2026 – B&L Reference Laboratory, the Exclusive Lab Partner of the Independent Animal Hospital Association (IAHA), today announced a partnership with Parasight System Inc, IAHA's Exclusive In-Clinic Diagnostic Partner. The partnership gives IAHA's more than 850 member practices across 44 states a complete diagnostic portfolio, from specialty send-out testing to routine in-clinic panels.
B&L's full-service reference menu now pairs with Parasight's Complete Lab System, which returns most in-clinic results in under 10 minutes. Veterinarians choose case by case whether to send a test to B&L or run it in-house, based on urgency, volume and staffing.

"Independent hospitals deserve a reference lab that works the way they do. With Parasight handling routine panels in minutes, B&L can focus on the specialty cases where a board-certified read or a 24-hour consult changes the outcome, and members get it all through one coordinated relationship."
— Desiree Hedge, CEO, B&L Reference Laboratory
