Clinical laboratory expansion opportunities discussion

As part of the UC Davis Health strategic planning initiative, the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is hosting a special virtual presentation to discuss clinical laboratory expansion opportunities.

David Nichols, President and Founder of Nichols Management Group (NMG), will present, “Opportunity to Build a Commercial Esoteric Lab Business at UC Davis Health,” at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, September 1, 2021.  

The Nichols Management Group is a consulting firm that has worked with the Harvard System, Cedars-Sinai, and UC San Francisco, among others. 

“I’m very excited that Vice Chancellor Lubarsky and our hospital leadership want to expand our clinical laboratory operations into a broader regional service,” said Professor and Chair Dr. Lydia P. Howell.  “The potential expansion will include both anatomic and clinical pathology laboratory operations,” she added.

Joining Nichols for the presentation will be Ash Gupta, Executive Director, and Andrew Joseph, Senior Associate, both with the UC Davis Health Office of Business Planning.  Dr. Howell encouraged clinicians and administrators throughout the health system to participate in the discussion. 

“NMG will provide a jump-start to developing a vision and approach to better serving our community at large, particularly in light of the stresses that the COVID-19 pandemic has placed on our entire health system,” Dr. Howell said.  “Providing better and more rapid testing and diagnostics is both an immediate and long-term goal, and we welcome input from our partners.”
