Our mission

STONE Diagnostics assists physicians and health systems in caring for their patients by empowering them to become a partner in their optimal health through diagnostic information. STONE is a full-service clinical reference laboratory that specializes in preventative and molecular diagnostics testing supported by customer-focused boutique service.

Yes, we’re a lab, but our business is laboratory information

STONE was founded in 2015 in New Orleans on a flexible cloud-based IT platform designed to:

  • Simplify testing

  • Improve the efficiency of molecular diagnostics

  • Reduce consumer and corporate cost

  • Increase overall access to innovative diagnostics and quality patient care

  • Deliver exceptional customer service with industry-leading turn-around-time (TAT)

  • Provide a variety of support services from staffing to general consulting

We’re problem solvers who use PCR-based molecular testing and other DNA/RNA-based testing to detect infectious diseases, while continually enhancing our offerings in complementary diagnostic services including chemistry, immunoassay, microbiology, pharmacogenetics, hematology and prescription drug monitoring.

Currently, we operate two regional laboratories, one in New Orleans and one in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and multiple mobile testing laboratories serving a variety of non-traditional testing locations.

Out of one company, we are many

STONE is a comprehensive group of five in-network clinical diagnostics and support companies that provide accurate and timely laboratory testing and results in a variety of settings inside and outside the traditional clinical setting. In addition to diagnostic lab services, STONE also offers staffing, education, distribution and consulting.
