About LifeLabs

Empowering Healthier Canadians for Over 60 Years

At LifeLabs, we have been serving Canadians in their healthcare journeys for more than 60 years. Every test taken is a step toward answers, reassurance, and a healthier future, and every LifeLabs team member plays a role in making that happen for our patients.

We are proud to have been founded in Canada and remain dedicated to serving communities coast-to-coast. In recent years, we have contributed over $100 million to Canadian healthcare innovations and remain dedicated to continuing to reinvest in local healthcare infrastructure.

Above all, LifeLabs is a team of over 6,500 dedicated Canadians, serving Canadians. Each year, millions of Canadians rely on our diverse team of phlebotomists, lab technicians, couriers, mobile staff, medical science experts, and operational support professionals. From the frontline to the lab bench, across logistics, operations, IT, and support, we work together every day to empower our patients with accessible health information to live their best lives.

“We are deeply committed in the health of Canadians and the well-being of our country,” shares Charles Brown, President and CEO, LifeLabs. “We have a strong foundation in our communities, and we are proud to lead the way in introducing innovative tests and technologies, nurturing the growth of future healthcare leaders, and ensuring equitable, accessible healthcare for all Canadians from coast to coast.”

At LifeLabs, we’re more than just a lab; we’re a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion, working hard to remove barriers and improve healthcare access for equity-deserving populations.

We are also deeply committed to the health of Canadians and the well-being of our country. With a strong foundation in our communities, we are incredibly proud to support the growth and development of future healthcare leaders including programs such as the Indspire scholarship fund.
