In today's hyper-accelerated and ultra-competitive business world, leaders often find themselves in an array of challenges that demand quick and effective decision-making.

Rachael McCrary, CEO of Gather Labs dares to ask: why is diagnostic testing a last resort? Going to the doctor can be a frustrating experience for many people who feel like doctors aren’t taking their concerns seriously. There is a long process between convincing a doctor that there is something amiss to being able to get a test run. McCrary’s company flips this process on its head, offering comprehensive diagnostic tests before a patient goes to the doctor. Gather Labs gives you the data upfront, so your doctor can analyze your concerns while evaluating test results at the same time.

Inflation has grown over the past few years, forcing businesses to navigate higher material, supply and labor costs. When faced with rising costs, business leaders may choose to pass these costs on to customers by raising the prices of their products or services. While this is a common 'solution', it can negatively impact a business’s relationship with its customers long term.

As previously reported by G2 Intelligence, many labs and diagnostics companies that started as COVID-19 testing labs early in the pandemic are now struggling or have even had to close as testing demand plummets. However, one lab that began as a COVID-19 test provider but has successfully pivoted to other types of testing is Gather Labs, a high complexity CLIA lab based in Beverly Hills, CA, offering same-day results.
