LabLink is a quarterly publication of the Michigan Department of Community Health, Bureau of Laboratories. LabLink is designed as a communication tool between clinical laboratories, hospitals, county health departments and the state laboratories. Articles are submitted by staff of the Bureau of Laboratories.  Our colleagues in hospital and community laboratories and regional health department laboratories are invited to submit items of interest to the Michigan Laboratory community.

The goal of LabLink is twofold:

• To provide the latest information on testing services available at the department.
• To keep laboratorians and public health officials apprised of new and emerging issues.
