About APL

At Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL), we believe in the transformative power of laboratory medicine to improve health for all Albertans. APL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alberta Health Services (AHS). APL is the sole provider of lab services in the province of Alberta. Our goal is to strive to achieve the highest standards of service for all Albertans. 

Medical decisions, across the continuum of care, are based on diagnostic laboratory results, making laboratory medicine an integral component of healthcare. At APL, we lead healthcare innovation in laboratory medicine by continually seeking improvements in preventing, detecting and diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases or medical conditions.

APL’s focus is on patients first - ensuring the safety, accessibility and stability of lab services across Alberta. We are supported by expert consultation to assist care providers and users of the service. The depth and breadth of medical expertise results in a premium level of testing quality, service, follow up care, and support to our customers and their patients.

Through coordination with Zone Executive Leadership (ZEL), Alberta Health, Office of the Medical Officer of Health, Population & Public Health, & other health service professionals, Laboratory Services is working to ensure the right test menu for programs delivered at various facilities.
