2000 challenging oncological cases per year.

In 1996, Clin-Path Associates, P.C. entered into a limited liability
partnership with Phoenix Pathologists, Ltd, Tucson Pathology Associates, P.C.,
and Pathology Services, P.C. to form Pathology Specialists of Arizona, LLP.
This alliance was instrumental in providing medical direction for the
integrated laboratories of Banner Health Systems of Arizona and its commercial
laboratory, Sonora Quest Laboratories. This integration provided a
significant opportunity for reduction in laboratory expenses by consolidation,
standardization, improved productivity and efficiencies through economies of
scale.
Today, Clin-Path Associates, P.C. is the largest private pathology practice in
the state, supporting a diverse group of clients throughout Arizona.
