Company Enters OB/GYN Market
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Poplar Healthcare, a leading laboratory services company, recently launched a new division focused on the OB/GYN market, Women's Health Laboratories.
"We are excited to expand the markets we serve to now include the obstetrics and gynecology community," stated William McDowell, CEO of Poplar Healthcare.

The company also announced that Bradly Clark, M.D., will serve as medical director for Women's Health Laboratories. Dr. Clark received his medical degree from Howard University in Washington, D.C., and finished a residency in anatomic pathology at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md.

"We are thrilled to have someone with Dr. Clark's experience and credentials lead this new division," commented McDowell.
"I am pleased to be part of such an exciting venture," stated Dr. Clark. "With the combination of state-of-the-art pap testing, advanced imaging systems, a broad 'out-of-the-vial' molecular test menu, and innovative minimally invasive histology collection options, I am confident that Women's Health Laboratories will quickly become a leader in the rapidly advancing OB/GYN market."
