Congratulations to the entire team on achieving CAP accreditation! A great example of the Quest and FSU partnership in action, breaking down barriers to genetic testing and helping Florida families get answers sooner rather than later through the Sunshine Genetics Act. Proud of this team and all they've accomplished! Gaurav Malik, Dr. Pradeep Bhide, Dr. Cynthia Vied
Congratulations! It is truly a distinction of high quality and excellency.
CAP accreditation for pediatric genetic testing isn’t just a regulatory milestone — it reflects a real maturity in quality control and diagnostic accuracy. That’s what makes a tangible difference for families relying on these results.
