We deeply regret that on Tuesday, September 25, the Marin County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to close the Marin County Public Health Laboratory.  We are saddened by the loss of this very important resource for the county and its impact on our friends, families and coworkers. Please see below for the link to the video of the Board meeting.  The timeline for closure is spring-summer of 2013. We will post details of lab closure information as it becomes available.

The Marin County Public Health Laboratory provides specialized laboratory testing, reference, and emergency response services to the 270,000 residents of Marin County. If this lab is closed there will be no local testing service for outbreaks, emerging diseases, bioterrorism threats, or natural disasters. We should save this lab for the health and safety of our community.
