"Lumina recovered three STAT specimens during a blizzard when our national carrier cancelled. They are the only local courier we now call for time-critical runs."
Dr. A. Patel
Lab Director, Northshore Reference Lab
"Their chain-of-custody documentation passed our compliance audit on the first review. The BAA and custody logs are exactly what our pharmacy network needed."
M. Russo, RPh
Operations Lead, Lakeside Pharmacy Group
"We switched our STAT specimen runs to Lumina after a single trial run. Dedicated drivers, live tracking, and they answer the phone at 3am."
