SECAUCUS, N.J., Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), a leader in diagnostic information services, today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of select laboratory assets from OhioHealth, a nationally recognized not-for-profit, charitable, integrated health system. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The goal of the transaction is to broaden access to cost-effective and innovative laboratory services in Ohio.
