Arup Laboratories, Inc., a Utah-based clinical reference laboratory, was recently honored to receive Novation's annual Service Excellence Award.

This prestigious award was presented in recognition of Arup's excellent service to University HealthSystem Consortium's (UHC) more than 85 academic medical centers across the country.

Novation President Mark M. McKenna presented the Service Excellence Award on February 17th during a UHC conference in Chicago. Award selection was based on a survey of UHC members that was conducted by Novation, the supply company of UHC. Arup's service was compared with all other suppliers of service to UHC members.

"We are delighted to receive this award as recognition of the continuing commitment Arup employees have to providing service excellence," remarked K. Owen Ash, Ph.D., executive vice president and director of business development, who accepted the award on behalf of Arup.
